Regret the Error 3

This blog was dedicated to  news sources and their errors. For a site like this to exist, there must be many errors made each day, and credible sources also appear in the blog like Fox News. While it is important to monitor the news and make sure it has the correct information, I believe that a site where you can personally submit errors is the best way to monitor news. This format makes a viewer more skeptical from the onset, looking for any mistake, and cementing the idea that all journalists are lazy liars. I still believe in teaching students proper mechanics and ethics earlier and having very strict penalties for mistakes in those areas. This will ensure that our next generation of journalists won't fall prey to the Blair and Glass syndrome.
