'Po Editing

NYT2A couple months ago, we gave Baltimore Suneditors a lot of grief over a pretty atrocious front-page error. This morning, we noticed an equally egregious error in The New York Times (left). Granted it wasn't on the front page, but the Times' error is even more laughable. Is "Po Basketball" what poor people play in the South?

Also, given that media-watching blog Gawker recently reported that the minimum salary forTimes staff reporters is $90,500, I think they ought to at least get their section headers right. Of course, I know that reporters aren't responsible for those, but if they've got that kind of money to throw around, you'd think they could afford to hire people to make sure they don't embarrass themseleves—and maybe even to stop laying people off
