I was merely quoting from another source (see link above), and the story is still running across the world, so you may have to press for more corrections elsewhere.

You accuse AFP (without having checked properly or tried to contact us as far as I can tell) of having made a mistake by adding a Tina Fey picture to a Sarah Palin story. It is simply not true. If you had looked closer you would have seen that the picture is an AP picture and that the mistake comes from the Canadian newspaper Le Soleil (they run a correction today apologizing for the mistake). We do sometimes make mistakes (you are right about the space shuttle) but we always try to acknowledge them and to correct them. I hope you’ll do the right thing and correct the post. Best regards Christophe Vogt Deputy chief Editor for AFP in North America Office: 1 202 414 0643 Cell: 1 202 285 2332 e-mail: christophe.vogt@afp.com Bonjour
