The NYT Made One Hell of a Typo About Nassar
Crop and Embed for those interested.
Better to be imcompetent than incontinent.
This won't be the first time someone makes that mistake unfortunately.
Oh wait...
Probably done by an MSU or OSU editor (or janitor) at NYT.
This is some bush (ESPN) league garbage from a newspaper that has won 125 Pulitzer Prizes.
Bad headlines are a startlingly common occurrence at major publications. Sometimes people don't notice because their preffered institutions / causes / people are not harmed, but they are there all the same.
It's all fake

exactly what was going through my mind. They know very little about what happens outside their very exclusive little bubble.
This is a glaring, ignorant mistake. I'd be much more forgiving if the paper wasn't so damn smug.
University of Pennsylvania's Sandusky Convicted of Sexually Abusing Boys
Must be a distant cousin or something.
4 months ago, I got negged for pointing out this mistake was a possibility. I wrote:
This scandal is going to hurt the University of Michigan too, because outside the Midwest, many people aren't clear which is "MIchigan" and which is Michigan State. I've encountered that nearly everywhere I've lived — Oregon, Kentucky, Georgia, Pennsylvania, California, Montana, New York. The confusion is especially true in the Northeast, where a friend sent me an email about "Michigan University."
I said this too, 2 days ago about the Nassar settlement:
Unfortunately . . . 75% of the country thinks that Michigan State is The University of Michigan.
We knew this would happen.
They probably never knew there was a Michigan State University.

Seems to have been fixed or deleted from the main page of the online NYT site
Whew
error on NPR yesterday morning when they interviewed Engler. They've since fixed it, but here's the correction:
CorrectionMay 17, 2018
In an earlier version of this report, Michigan State University was mistakenly referred to as the University of Michigan. Also, Michigan State's interim president, John Engler, was mistakenly referred to as Jim Engler.
https://www.npr.org/2018/05/17/611888542/msu-president-on-nassar-settle…
I knew I should have read through, beaten to the punch on the Engler switch up. In other news, My daughter informed me it's National Pizza Party Day.
And it was Rachel Martin who did it. It was so bad. She introduced Engler as "Jim Engler." Engler's first words were, "That would be my brother, Jim Engler. I'm John. Although sometimes I wish by brother Jim had this job..."
She gets to the end of the interview, and she did it again, calling him "Jim Engler," to which the former governor reacted, "I'm still John!"
In the midst of all of that, she referred to "the University of Michigan."
I could do with a lot less soft-voice empathy, and a lot more competence, from some of these broadcasters.
I mean, it could be a lot worse....
Imagine someone you know or love being the victim of "stolen groceries".
That seems oddly similar to confusing assault with littering.
Possibly off topic but I listen to NPR on my way to work every morning. They were interviewing Engler about the settlement the other morning and introduced him as Jim Engler. He said his brothers name was Jim. Just after that I switched to Spotify.
All this time, I thought he'd been dead since 1970. Someone should correct Gamal Abdel Nasser's Wikipedia page.
Looks a bit like Carter Pewterschmitt before Carter went 100% silver fox
I worked there for far to long to believe this isn't true. The "reporting" of it, of course. Not the story.
For the correct spelling of the coach.
And then he misspelled "do." Such a koala thing to do.
He does have short fat fingers or whatever koala's have.
apparently Koala's all have chlamydia.....

It doesn't practice real objective journalism, journalism that actually fact checks with real editors.
