Last Friday I said that the “correction” that Paul Krugman had appended to his latest column did so little to address Krugman’s error, it would be more accurately described as a “korrection.” It’s an idea that’s katching on.
Powerline plays along in the process of criticizing two other newspapers that syndicate Krugman’s kolumn — the Minneapolis Star-Tribune for running Krugman’s korrections four days after numerous bloggers had pointed out that Krugman didn’t even korrect his original error, and the Portland Oregonian for running Krugman’s kolumn without any korrections at all.
It’s bad enough that the NY Times doesn’t edit Krugman’s kolumns. Now the papers that carry them are editing out the korrections.
