Twitter

Best correction you’ll see all year

John Plunkett. Updated October 9th, 2018

Call off the search, we’ve found the correction of the year, after a reporter for Kremlin-backed TV channel Russia Today was forced into a rapid reverse ferret after tweeting this.

And this.

Now you might think the RT reporter, who appears to be a woman called Sameera Khan, tweeted them as some sort of joke (albeit a not very good and poor taste one). But no, it appears she really did believe it.

Because then this happened.

Now the original tweets have been deleted, as has the apology and indeed Sameera Khan’s entire Twitter account. Almost as if history has been rewritten.

Fortunately some people were around to capture it for posterity.

And just in case you were wondering where they came from.
