Oops! RegretTheError.com Lists The Worst Media Errors and Corrections of the Year

This would be funny, if it weren't so scary!  RegretTheError.com has compiled a list of the absolute worst errors in the media that were often made worse by lame corrections. Apparently accuracy (and tact) took a real beating:

It was the year that Newsweek’s Koran error played a role in deadly riots, the year a Fox News commentator’s error caused a family to be terrorized by its neighbors, the year the Chicago Tribune was sued for $1 million for mistakenly labeling a man a mobster (it did the same to another man the same week but he declined to sue). The year the New York Times' reputation took a beating over its failure to accurately report on WMDs in Iraq.
