The Corrections

Interesting piece about a group of j-school students on a fact-checking mission: "Each morning, the students gather in a room to review the day's news and identify stories that seem questionable. Then they go to work, hitting the phones and other sources to pull suspicious stories apart and see if they hold up to scrutiny. As of today, roughly 80 percent of the stories checked have contained some form of factual mistake, according to instructor and Dutch journalist Theo Dersjant."

Are you trying to say that Enid didn't actually put Alfred's favorite chair in the basement?
