Wait Wait Don't Tell Me succumbs to New York Times error
cjpkiller \| 2:46 PM on 04.27.2008	7 comments

Alright,
read this first
http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/NihonTiger90/ars-technica-vgcharts-embarrass-the-new-york-times-83513.phtml

now, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, the NPR news quiz just talked about that, not the fact that the New York Times fucked up, but about how people aren't buying games for their wiis, furthermore they went on to talk about how Wii software developers are having to get more creative to get more game sales, such as "Denny Diner Dash", and the fps targeted to older audiences, "Hey, Get Off My Lawn"

it just makes me sad that newspapers don't apologize when they fuck up, and then those stories get reported on... and so on and so forth... ugh.

I still can't get over that the New York times sited vgchartz... *facepalm*

Now I definitely don't expect a comedic radio news quiz show to double check any facts, but the New York Times definitely should have.

god damnit ><
yes.
I never write blogs.
but since I have a paper to do I am finding 9001 other things to do, BESIDES writing my paper.
need me to invent a cure for cancer, it sure as hell sounds better than writing a ten page paper about F. Scott Fitzgerald's connections to Minnesota
