Accuracy Not!

SOMEONE please notify Poets & Writers online editor Evan Smith Rakoff that they’ve posted a video as news that’s nearly five years old:

http://www.pw.org/content/keith_gessen

The video has Keith Gessen discussing Dave Eggers. It was first posted May 13, 2008. At least, at the site where I recently found it. See this post at my Crime City USA blog:

I had some hits recently on the same post. A P&W person might’ve googled Gessen or Eggers and found it, clicked on the link to Big Think, and posted the video without noticing or caring about the date.

Sloppiness.
