Another Correction of the Day: The New York Times: Hel-lo!

The New York Times has done it again.

OBITUARIES

An obituary on Friday about Wesley A. Brown, the first black graduate of the United States Naval Academy, referred incorrectly to Mr. Brown and other students at the academy. They are called midshipmen, not cadets. (Students at the United States Military Academy at West Point are cadets.)

OYE Comment:

One would think that The New York Times would try to do a better job about knowing basic facts about our military.  Think again.

Correction of the Day

from The New York Times:

An article on Thursday about John McCain’s relationship with his children misstated, in some editions, the site of a graduation ceremony for Mr. McCain’s son Jimmy, which was attended by several siblings. Jimmy McCain graduated from Marine boot camp; there is no Marine Academy.
