Mmm…that’s good irony!

D’oh! I submitted this post to Slashdot discussing accuracy in online reporting and linking to the New York Times’ recent article — “First With the Scoop, If Not the Truth” — on inside-the-beltway gossip columnist Wonkette and, in the process, misattributed a quote from the article to Wonkette’s editor Ana Marie Cox that should have gone to her publisher, Nick Denton, instead. Needless to say, that’s more than a little embarrassing.

I’ve e-mailed one of Slashdot’s editors and asked him to correct my stupid — albeit deliciously ironic — mistake. In the meantime, my apologies to both Wonkette and Mr. Denton.

EDIT: It looks like the crack Slashdot team fixed it.
