Everyone knows that people make mistakes. It's just the way it is. Unfortunately, that includes journalists. Journalists try to keep their mistakes to minimum, but sometimes that isn't enough.
For example, an article published on October 21 said that a man, Salvatore Pusaterik, had died. In truth he had only retired from his shop. Another example would be when another newspaper said that in "Angry Birds," the popular iPhone game, the aim of the game was to knock down the birds. You actually have to use the birds to knock down the fortresses.
While people are free to make mistakes, maybe journalists should be a little more careful than most. You can affect someone poorly with just one mistake. The mistake also embarrasses the newspaper.
