An election correction
From The Economist print edition
In the issues of December 16th 2000 to
November 10th 2001, we may have given the
impression that George Bush had been legally
and duly elected president of the United States.
We now understand that this may have been
incorrect, and that the election result is still too
close to call. The Economist apologises for any
inconvenience.

The Magazine is self discribed as:
\"The extreme centre is the paper's
historical position.\" That is as true today as when
Crowther said it in 1955. The Economist
considers itself the enemy of privilege,
pomposity and predictability. It has backed
conservatives such as Ronald Reagan and
Margaret Thatcher. It has supported the
Americans in Vietnam. But it has also endorsed
Harold Wilson and Bill Clinton, and espoused a
variety of liberal causes: opposing capital
punishment from its earliest days, while
favouring penal reform and decolonisation, as
well as - more recently - gun control and gay
marriage. \"\n","contact":"quakerla@loop.com","link":"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/printedition\/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=865704&CFID=1670614&CFTOKEN=6431da-e7c93d96-09ed-48ef-9e03-03b258e53a49","address":"..","phone":"..","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Major UK magazine publishes a year of corrections about Bush","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2001\/12\/13628.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
