Corrections

In Steve Campbell's column yesterday, "Media Reports Facts, but with a Slant," it was incorrectly stated that Ted Turner owns CNN. Turner sold his cable networks, including CNN, to Time Warner in 1996. He became the company's vice chairman, a title he retained after AOL and Time Warner merged in 2001. In May of this year, he will be stepping down as vice chairman.
