5 thoughts on “Daily Stun Reports Shocking News Story!! (see correction below)

  1. As someone responsible for not one but two embarrassing factual errors during my tenure at the “Stun”, I can tell you that the placement on page 8 is 100-percent consistent with the Sun’s correction policy (and, for that matter, every national newspaper I’ve picked up).

    On the other hand, a factual error like this that fundamentally alters the premise of an editorial AND front page news story might warrant a letter from the editor apologizing (who could forget the NYT’s sweeping apology for their lack of critical coverage leading up to the Iraq War?). And such an apology is not unprecedented. But would it have called more attention to the error? Tommy Bruce’s letter is just as prominent as such an apology would be, and thus delivers the exact same information to the exact same number of people. I guess the only difference is it doesn’t allow blogs like you to feel quite as smug about the gaffe …

    You seem pretty sharp, Oliver Renick. And your by-line on page 11 of the most recent Cornell Review (though good luck to anyone trying to find one on campus) says that you’re an editor, albeit the “Excecutive Editor.” Why don’t you try breaking some news instead of taking petty potshots at your competition?

    Lukepolicastro’s story about Walsh’s compensation as compared to the other Ivies’ CIOs’ was a welcome respite from the stream of masturbatory drivel that usually mars this little-read blog. However, he only looked into the size of the other Ivies’ endowments, not how they are managed (hint: there are some interesting details there). If you ran a real publication, it might warrant a correction of your own.

    Luckily for you, that’s not the case.

  3. Instead of addressing the actual charges at hand, you resort to ad hominem arguments, unfounded charges, and personal attacks. Not classy, Oliver’s Twist. The Sun appears to be sinking to new lows every day.
