Although the New York Times has refused to publish a correction concerning the claim by its TV writer Alessandra Stanley that Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera "nudged an Air Force rescue worker out of the way so his camera crew could tape him as he helped lift an older woman in a wheelchair to safety" (a tape of the incident shows no such thing), it has published corrections about 11 percent of her columns since 2001 and 14 percent during the past year, according to John Cook, a former TV writer for the Chicago Tribune and currently a writer for Radar magazine. On his blog, Cook wrote, "My God, the woman is clocking corrections at more than a monthly rate. And they are stupid, stupid errors." He then listed (in small type) "The Collected Corrections of Alessandra Stanley."
