A good lesson in journalistic humility. FoxNews.
One morning, there was a fatal accident. One
person died. One lived. As always, I dutifully jotted down the

survivor on the report. So you can only imagine the feeling in my
stomach when the survivor’s family called to tell me I had it wrong.But
I’d done due journalistic diligence. My saving grace? I attributed the
report of the death to someone. An all important line that said,
“Police say so-and-so died last night in a wreck…” And that’s all
