After notifying the New York Times of their error in the headline of this story, I received the following e-mail today from the NYT's Bill Borders:
You are right. That was an embarrassing error about South Dakota, and I wish we had not made it. We published a correction. But we know that a correction never quite catches up to the original error, which is why we try so hard to get things right in the first place.Thanks so much for writing, and for holding us to a high standard.
Best, Bill Borders, The New York Times.
