Yeah, the failure to proofread can be a muhfuhKKKa. I have seen typos of all sorts in major publications and all sorts of places where you'd think people would double check. Whether they were errors or not, I think (and I hope) folks have learned their lesson with both incidents.

If, again the word IF is stressed, he was the one who really printed it.... & if he wasn't familiar with James Earl Ray, I feel like someone fed him the name - knowing he wouldn't have known who it was, then sat back and watched the sparks fly.
Let's not be fooled. People are more hateful & vindictive than we may care to believe. I see it happen everyday. I don't know what to think about the Nigger vs. Niger thing. Now, that has a greater potential for being a typo.... I've seen some God-awful typos on CNN updates before. It IS a bit disturbing that with a name so close to being a racial slur, they didn't check that more carefully. That's one of those things that make you go ... hmmmmmmm....
