from today's papers on slate

The NYT notes that Scotland Yard's initial assertion that the man police shot was "directly linked" to the case is among what the paper calls "a series of incomplete characterizations" and "in some cases, public misstatements about the evidence."

(By the way, the Post reefers the story of the slain man, but it's worth noting that while the man's death was the paper's leadstory on Saturday, the revelation of his innocence is on A24Sunday.)

i can understand burying the truth and corrections on page B70. but when it's as important as this, then they should be placed in the same spot used when blurting out the (now known) untruths.
