I _write_ news. It's the only way I can be sure. What can I help with?

I'm on various Sugar, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu mailing lists, I
write at OLPC News and Daily Kos, and I have a daily Google alert for
OLPC.

In my experience, the news is always wrong. Not about everything in an
article, but always something. This has always been the case for
projects I was involved in, so I assume it holds for everything else.
The mailing lists can be wrong, but corrections are usually immediate.
I have also made mistakes, and I am grateful for corrections.

Thanks for reminding me. I needed that quote for my Daily Kos Diary.
