"DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ in the newspaper," goes the old saying, but we pretty
much do anyway. Joel Belz has a good short essay
on that in the May 31 World. He notes that despite being a sports
reporter and seeing how the newspaper made mistakes almost every time he phoned in
names and numbers, when he read other sections of the paper, he couldn't help believing
that what he read was accurate.
