One thing for a blog or message board to get it wrong.
But the flagship station of the National Broadcasting Company is another matter.
from WNBC
On Thursday morning, prior to the time in which the Mitchell report was made public, WNBC.com published a list of ballplayer names that we expected to appear in the report. There were a number of discrepancies between our list and the Mitchell report, and we mistakenly listed several players that did not appear in the report.
Jonathan Dienst and WNBC.com regret the error
Forty-one of the players named by WNBC were not mentioned in the Mitchell report, including big-name stars like Albert Pujols, Jason Varitek, Nomar Garciaparra, Mets catcher Ramon Castro and Yankees slugger Johnny Damon.
The station updated their story about 15 minutes after it was posted, saying that a high-ranking MLB official saw "several errors" in the list. But WNBC waited to take it down about an hour before the Mitchell Report was released. By then, there were links to the bad list on CNBC.com and The Drudge Report.
