Vivek's blog: Does the Washington Post secretly think Michael Moore is a moron?

Does the Washington Post secretly think Michael Moore is a moron?

Um - can someone explain this to me?

Here's a screenshot from today's Washington Post:




You see the headline I've circled - where "Tuesday with Weingarten" appears, but Weingarten is struck out and replaced with "Moron"? Well, that goes to this article - a Q&A with Michael Moore.

Is this an innocent mistake, or has some careless subeditor secretly revealed his or her hatred for the muckracking lefty? Or am I altogether mistaken?

  2. Hi Vivek....nice post. Though not so much of avarice for an award, could you re-consider the spelling for "muckracking". I am a learner and just trying to learn with you. Lots of love to the newbie baby and best wishes to parents.
