This week's Katrina goes to Boston Boomer who made an error and corrected it but refused to note that she'd corrected it and wanted to pretend she'd always had it down.
No Tinfoil: We Have Been Living in a Dictatorship

But Boston Boomer corrected her post and it now reads:
These memos were used to justify a shocking expansion of executive power and to nullify most of our Constitutional rights. Scott Horton of the Harpers Magazine writes:
No, Scott Horton does not write for The Atlantic Monthly. And it really was a pretty big error to make. He does not write for "the Harpers Magazine," either. He writes for Harper's but you leave in the "the" when you're rushing to correct your error. Boston Boomer does not note that the post was changed.
There are no "*" around the section and certainly no note of correction.
It was a real Katrina vanden Heuvel move to make. Dumb.
"Finally, the truth breaks into the mainstream media. Some of us did realize it, Scott; but I’m glad you’re writing about it now," Boston Boomer writes indicating what?
That she really earned the Katrina. Scott Horton is a Barack Obama Kool-Aid Drinker and we have no use for him at all currently for that, his sexism and a number of other issues; however, we are aware that when George W.

Possibly Boston Boomer's unaware of that due to the fact that she spent the last years attempting to read his work in The Atlantic Monthly?
