A local daily, El Nacional apologized for inadvertently including a photograph of actor Alec Baldwin impersonating US President Donald Trump instead of the real Donald Trump in a news story. The newspaper used the photo to illustrate a wire story headlined “Trump says settlements in Israel don’t favor peace.” The photo of Baldwin/Trump appeared next to one of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The newspaper posted a correction online on Saturday, 11 February 2017, apologizing for the error. It was carried in the Sunday, 12 February print issue.
In addition to LA Times, the blooper story was also carried by CNN and went viral in the Dominican Republic social media.
