    Critic Caught In Bennifer Conundrum

    Speaking of Tabloid Wars, we couldn't help noting the following in yesterday's NYT review of the show:

    "Even Mr. Morgan however, turns out to have a heart. After reporting an incorrect rumor about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Mr. Morgan is dispatched at a punitively early hour to Hackensack, N.J., to report on free prostate cancer screenings for poor men."

    All well and good, except the erroneous report was about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.

    Who wrote this piece? We think you'll be shocked when we reveal the author to be... Alessandra Stanley!

    She also made the mistake of calling the show "fair and accurate," but we're not going to get that picayune. Factual errors are enough.
