A bit more than ten years ago, the Fresno California *Bee*, part of a
respected media group, installed a new production/editing computer which
even included features for automatically editing "political corectness"
into print.  A corrction which ran a few days after an  article's
publication read something like this:  "...The recent article should have
read, 'The new tax will put Fresno in the black,' not 'in the
African-American.'"

It ain't only radiddio ops that make SOC blunders, y'know.
