THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAS A FALSE ALARM

Files under General | Aug 22nd

False alarm:  The Wall Street Journal posted an urgent bulletin earlier this afternoon reporting that Obama had selected Tim Kaine as his running mate.

The paper has issued an apologetic statement:

“The Journal news department was sent an erroneous announcement about the selection of a vice presidential candidate for Barack Obama.

Once we realized the announcement was erroneous, we immediately withdrew the headline.

We regret any inconvenience this caused our readers.”
