A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Radio Station « Media Distortions »

Go check out this page. Or, you can merely check out the excerpt of the part I want to discuss below:

The O'Franken Factor is a Zero Spin Zone. So if you hear something inaccurate on our show, it isn't a lie--it's an error. We want to correct it. And we need your help.

If you hear a mistake, an inaccuracy, or a falsehood--no matter how boring or technical--send it to factorcorrections@airamericaradio.com. We'll be checking the box. If we find that we have strayed from the truth, we'll get to it in our semi-regular, much-beloved "boring corrections" segment as quickly as we can.

All I can do is shake my head in disbelief. The man who wrote the book "Lying Liars Lie Lie Lie" (or something like that) realizes that the same technique might be used on him, so he pre-empts any such attempt with that lame "...it isn't a lie, it's an error" crap. So, anyway, now you have the address to correct them in the "errors". I figure I'm going to start mailing them transcripts daily of everything Al Franken says.
