They contacted me two hours after I wrote about this on my blog. I also wrote about the Guardian, and some of their misinformation that dates back to August 2008. It's been 7 months since I first contacted them about their error, and they've yet to make it right. Good luck with the Times. I didn’t contact AFP.

This is just pure laziness and chips away yet again at my faith in the accuracy of the media.

That's why I decided to put it on my blog. But other readers of my blog actually contacted AFP about this, which may have led to the correction. @David I did not contact AFP myself, once a piece is out on the web it’s out and you can’t take it back anyway.
