Los Angeles Times is ridiculed for excruciating errors in its article Obituary of Mr. O.J. Simpson — suggesting that former President Donald Trump was serving a prison sentence for a murderer defendant.
“On a fall morning in 2017, long before the city woke up, Mr. Trump walked out of the Lovelock Correctional Center outside Reno, free for the first time in nine years,” a left-wing paper somehow told the presidential candidate. I mistakenly wrote that it was Reno’s presidential candidate. Disgraced former NFL player.
“He didn’t go far, moving to a 5,000-square-foot home in Las Vegas with a Bentley in the driveway,” the obituary added.
The embarrassing gaffe was later corrected, and Trump’s name was replaced with that of Simpson, who died of cancer this week at age 76.
In an editor’s note, the LA Times wrote: “A previous version of this obituary contained a typographical error that used the wrong name when describing Simpson’s departure from Lovelock Correctional Center.
“The error has been corrected.”
However, the news organization was thoroughly ridiculed online for its blunder.
“Typo in OJ’s side note in the LA Times: ‘According to LA Times reporter Elaine Wu, OJ Simpson was arrested on robbery charges, but it was Donald Trump who served nine years in prison.’ Katie Grimes wroteeditor of the California Globe.
“People in the media are just itching to write a story about Trump being convicted and going to prison,” she added.

Simpson entered a hotel room at the Palace Station Hotel Casino in Las Vegas in 2007 with an armed group and confronted two sports memorabilia dealers who claimed they had Simpson’s belongings. He was serving time in Lovelock for his role in the robbery. Stolen memorabilia.
The disgraced great, who died of prostate cancer on Wednesday, was famously acquitted of criminal charges for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
He was later found liable in a civil lawsuit and ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages to his family.
