GOOD CORRECTION: According to the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists, "journalists should admit mistakes and correct them promptly". Molly Ivins shows how it's done by plainly apologizing ("Crow Eaten Here") at the end of two recent columns -- one for borrowing a line without crediting the source, and one for attributing information to the wrong source. Kudos to Ms. Ivins.
BAD CORRECTION: David Brooks took some heat for unfairly associating criticism of neoconservatives with anti-Semitism in a recent column. While Mr. Brooks attempted to explain and apologize, he apparently did it in an e-mail to some readers rather than where it belongs, in a subsequent column.
NO CORRECTION: Although Charles Krauthammer wrote a column which clearly manipulated a Howard Dean quote and altered its meaning, he has yet to address the issue as far as I'm aware.
