Via the indispensible James Taranto, check out this correction in the WaPo:

A Sept. 21 item in the Metro in Brief column about a woman fatally shot in Prince George's County and a child who was wounded incorrectly reported the woman's age, the child's sex, the child's location at the time of the shooting, and the street on which the shooting occurred.

That'll surely enhance your opinion of the media. Maybe we'll see something like this soon:

Numerous stories over the last five months have have incorrectly reported the mood of the people in Iraq, the state of the reconstruction in that country, and the good feeling the citizens their have since the overthrow of dictator Saddam Hussein, his children, and the Baath party. The American media regrets the error.
