Blah3 reports that the San Diego Union-Tribune has posted a correction (scroll down) to syndicated columnist Joseph Perkins' claim about DNC attack ads. Perkins had come across one of the "Money" ads on the Blah3 page and had written a screed accusing the DNC of producing these ads and planning to run them in "selected" congressional districts.

I have to say, I've trashed more than one post after coming to the conclusion that the facts I started with were either wrong or unverifiable. I'd consider it to be profoundly embarrassing if I made a claim like Perkins did and found out later that not only was I wrong but that I could have prevented my error with five minutes' worth of Google searches. How is it that a guy who puts out one or two columns a week, for which he presumably has an editor, can live with himself after publishing something so ludicrously wrong?

Anyway, you can read more about this here in the Blah3 archives.
