washingtonpost.com— A Nov. 26 article in the District edition of Local Living incorrectly said a Public Enemy song declared 9/11 a joke. The song refers to 911, the emergency phone number.

That does not qualify as a "correction"; that's a lame attempt at an excuse. Akeya Dickson should have clearly noted that the song was written at least 11 years before the horrific tragedy that her article irresponsibly linked this song. We expect better from a Howard grad.<a class="user" href="http://newsbusters.org/people/akeya-dickson" rel="nofollow">http://newsbusters.org/people/akeya-dickson</a>

Please deduct 50 points worth of street cred from the Washington Post.

Not to mention that the record was released in 1990. What a bunch of morons.

How is this mistake even made? The song starts off with "Now I dialed 911 a long time ago..."
