Rick Lyman wrote in today's NYT:
Mr. Edwards, the presumptive vice-presidential nominee, repeatedly mentioned the close 2000 contest in Florida, and the controversial recount that resulted in a narrow victory for George W. Bush.
Everyone here knows that's a lie. Bush won in court when the Supremes stopped the recount efforts. This kind of sloppy journalism contributes to the collective memory loss of Americans.
I've already written to ask for a correction.
