First Reagan And Now Ford!

Just about 12 hours ago I noticed that the Washington Post ran a headline that Ronald Reagan died. Although they were simply issuing a correction to their original story, they don’t make the date of his death obvious, and therefore the article misleads people into thinking that he just died. (I am sure there are people out there unaware that he had already passed away).

Well, not only has Ronald Reagan died again, but now it seems Gerald Ford has done so as well.

Let’s zoom in again and look at that date.

Wouldn’t it make sense to state, within the corrected article, the date the person actually died?

I wonder how many other famous people are going to die again today…
