It's here.

It's the first story. Read it, hehehe. I found it rather amusing. [Laugh] . This guy, Larry Rohter, is supposed to be a good reporter, but he's quickly becoming out of favor, over here.

i read that story the other day. i found it to be a rather trivial mistake. Papers print corrections VERY frequently, and the world thinks nothing of it. The picture, in my opinion didnt change the integrity of the story, it just happened to snapshot others who were obese. a regrettable oversight, perhaps, but nothing that should seriously challenge the reporters credibility. i think this is, whats the phrase the esteemed Jon Stewart used? oh yea, Partisan Hackery, in the sense that the post, is again trying to blow something out of proportion ina dig against a more liberal publication.
