Today’s lesson: Nadar Nader = Nadir.
LA Times sports columnist Bill Dwyre wrote a column today about the NBA’s perception problem. Unfortunately, it also confirmed the perception of the LA Times as a paper in a tailspin.
He wrote, “Ralph Nadar, consumer watchdog, presidential candidate and frequent critic of [Commissioner] Stern, calls him “imperious.”
Ralph Nadar is not on my radar. You would think that the LA Times would know who Ralph Nader is, but apparently they’ve fired all the copy editors and fact-checkers. Or the sick-out started early.
Update: Although no correction was posted, the Times fixed the typo. That’s what distinguishes the mainstream media; even under assault from so many directions, it still tries to get the story right.
