Columnist: “Here’s My Annual Confession”
John Baer is a columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News. In his latest column, he details all his journalistic mistakes from 2007. A secular confessional, if you will. It makes for some good reading, we’ve gotta say:
This is the year-end column in which I admit mistakes I made in the name of truth-seeking – some of them sort of technical, others just plain stupid.
For example, back in February, writing about the need for a new era in politics, and wondering whether Barack Obama might represent a chance for change, I referred to him as “O’Bama.”
Next day, I got a note from an editor asking, “Who’s this new Irish guy running?”
Stupid. Just stupid.
