This really happened, via Jim Romanesko:
Two copy desk staffers [at the Hardin County News-Enterprise in Kentucky] – 23 and 32 years old – have been fired, I’m told. One wrote the “shoot minorities” line on the page proof as a joke and the second – in charge of the front page – put it in the story. One worked at the paper for about six years, the other less than a year.Here's the newspaper's apology, from editor Ben Sheroan, "Apology: Error should not have happened" (via Memeorandum).
More proof that ideological leftists both populate America's newsrooms while simultaneously destroying the institution of journalism.
