NY Times Needs A Proof Reeder and Fak Cheker

The following was added to the bottom of the NY Times Saturday story about the protests in Washington DC:
Correction: December 13, 2014

An earlier version of this article misidentified, on second reference, the person who was shot in Ferguson, Mo. It was Michael Brown, not Darren Wilson. An earlier version of this article also referred incorrectly to the shooting of Trayvon Martin. He was killed by a civilian, not by a police officer. In addition, an earlier version of this correction misspelled Trayvon Martin’s given name as Travyon.
Perhaps they would have saved some space by telling readers what they got right.
