Not Comics: Newspaper Prints Embarrassing Typo in Political Ad

Posted by
August 5, 2018

The Kansas City Star is reporting on the power of good copy editors in today’s (August 5th) edition.

From the story:

A word in a 10-paragraph statement of the full-page ad supporting Samons was supposed to say “assets,” the newspaper’s publisher wrote in a public Facebook post Saturday morning.

Instead, Samons’ ad contained this sentence: “I believe in taking care of those who work for you, as loyal employees are your biggest asses.”

I like loyal employees and I cannot lie.

The Star regrets the error, although not all that much.
