One Lede Four Mistakes

Yesterday we brought you the news that the Washington Examiner had one of its opinion columnists Philip Klein write up the story of Osama bin Laden‘s death Sunday night.

Unfortunately the lede contained four mistakes.

1. Osama was not killed a week ago.

2. DNA did not delay the confirmation.

3. President Obama did not schedule a presser. He read a statement.

4. Osama bin Laden was shot in the chest and head. He was not killed by a bomb.
