Lets remember this is not just the error of the reporter. There are assistant editors and editors that get paid a lot of money to read stories and make sure they are accurate.
It would be fair to ask who is getting fired or at least reprimanded for this fairly major mistake.
It was two very experienced reporters, which makes it even more ironic:
Juliet Eilperin is The Washington Post's White House bureau chief, covering domestic and foreign policy as well as the culture of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. She is the author of two books—one on sharks, and another on Congress, not to be confused with each other—and has worked for the Post since 1998.
