Geraldo Rivera gets his correction, but no apology for
Alessandra Stanley's Sept. 5 column. The Times note says: "The editors understood the 'nudge' comment as the television critic's figurative reference to Mr. Rivera's flamboyant intervention. ...Numerous readers, however -- now including
Byron Calame, the newspaper's public editor, who also scrutinized the tape -- read the comment as a factual assertion. The Times acknowledges that no nudge was visible on the broadcast."
