Memo to Murdoch -- WSJ: Flatlands Is in Brooklyn, Not the Bronx

                                               Ok, so it isn't on par with Judith Miller putting bogus nuclear weapons in Iraq in The New York Times, but today's front page of the Wall Street Journal's Metro section had a center picture with a headline reading: "Standoff in the Bronx."

One problem is that the Flatlands is in Brooklyn, not the Bronx, about an hour away on the subway.

Unfortunately this gaffe, since corrected on the webpage, exemplifies what critics have been saying about the new WSJ Metro section. They don't know New York City or whether the Flatlands is in the Bronx or Brooklyn. It's a bit light on hard news about the city, preferring cultural interests and soft real-estate bits about Manhattan while often neglecting the outer boroughs.
