NYT Learns Difference Between Pimping, Pumping -- Oh, and David Remnick's Book Is Coming Soon
The New York Times‘ Arts Beat blog hit some hairy waters this afternoon when reporting on New Yorker editor David Remnick’s forthcoming book on Barack Obama. After apparently misunderstanding Remnick in an interview for the article, the Times posted the following ridiculous correction:
An earlier version of this post misquoted Mr. Remnick on his comparison between the book and a New Yorker article he had previously written. He said the book would not be a “pumped up” version of the article; he did not say that it would not be a “pimped out” version of the article.
Whoops!
