This week's edition of Oops, Gelf's quasi-weekly round-up of media corrections, is so chock-full of goodness that it comes in two parts. Among the highlights: A newspaper fires an extremist writer, then blames bloggers; plagiarism as journalism's fig leaf; a fictional hockey career; and a newspaper protects readers from a comic strip.

One of our favorite corrections this week was submitted by Gelf reader Brent Hunsberger:

A Broadened Job Description

Rio Grande Sun (Española, New Mexico), July 7: A story titled "Española Puts Brakes on Fiesta Council Funding" in the June 23 issue of the SUN requires correction. The story states that Floral Expressions is the flower supplier to the Fiesta de Española. …

In the same story, in response to cuts in city support for the fiesta, Fiesta Council President Dennis O'Brien was quoted as saying he had become a "beggar, but not a prostitute" in his effort to raise funds. O'Brien denies saying that. He says he has become both a beggar and a prostitute.
