I know this one..........
Its that Chicago Tribune thing... where they printed a wrong headline when Truman had actually defeated Dewey in the elections. It was so because Dewey was the overwhelming favourite and Truman did not stand a chance. In the quest to be the first to publish the election results they failed to verify its accuracy.
