But the journalist should have asked right away: did you mean 400.000? She did not ask, and in the transcription one could read 400.000. Then, after publication of the story, they corrected the number to 400. If I would have the time to watch and hear all that is said these days on German and Austrian TV and radio I could write every day several articles about the "mistakes" For instance on Austrian state radio, one could hear about "Israeli settlements near the border" when they spoke about Sderot Ashkelon and Ashdod. This was not the first time they did it and I am afraid it is not the last time. Of course what could you expect from Austrian State owned ORF, when a commentator who made racist remarks about Barack Obama is not fired. Rebecca, of course that could have been a mistake by him.

It seems truly bizarre. Perhaps he didn't hear what he himself said and his interviewer thought (but didn't say) that he must have meant 400 (which would have been accurate). (Sometimes when I say something I only realize later that I really did misspeak myself - I didn't hear what I actually said, only what I thought I said). But certainly the radio station should then have issued a correction on the air with the accurate number. But do you think that Zuckermann expected to be believed? It seems truly bizarre.
