Sun-Sentinel miraculously turns cocaine into marijuana

If you needed any more proof that some newspapers have gone to pot, (pun intended) consider this.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel has rewritten a U.S. Coast Guard news release about the seizure of 3,532 pounds of cocaine in the Caribbean; transforming the cocaine into marijuana.


The story was corrected this morning at 11 a.m., but the URL still reflects the thrust of the original story.

So, how did this happen? Who knows? The Coast Guard press release plainly says cocaine. Freudian slip, perhaps?
