The best headlines need no commentary. Such is the case with the LOS ANGELES TIMES, Feb. 25, 1942, which reported on the Japanese “attack” on Los Angeles:

“L.A. AREA RAIDED!”

They Put It In Print – Everyone Aboard The Titanic Survived!!?

April 19, 2023 by · Leave a Comment 

Eternally filed the bin labelled “Don’t Believe Everything You Read” is the report found in the Oakland Tribune, April 15, 1912, that all of the passengers aboard the Titanic survived. Yet another example of newspaper publishers pushing too hard to scoop all others. I wonder if they bothered posting a retraction in the following day’s issue.
