Walking on sunshine. Always tacky.

Research and double-check, please
Call me a nitpicker, but I truly hate it when journalists don't get their facts straight.

Here is a classic example from Time Magazine's columnist, Ricahrd Corliss:
"But no resolve could keep her awake through Goblet. That was six years ago, and she didn’t know how the story came out until she saw the film last week."

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was first released in hardback in July, 2000.

That means it was just FIVE years ago.

Thankfully, the boo-boo is not as bad as Jason Blair or CBS/Dan Rather.

But it starts somewhere.
