A 2012 Associated Press item at http://finance.yahoo.com/news/reid-offers-plan-student-loan-131146930.html states, “’The combination of these two proposals will provide sufficient resources to fund both,’ Reid said in his letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.”

Senator McConnell was not the majority leader in 2012.

Next, came an email from a person on the Yahoo Concierge Team. There was a telephone conversation.

The email referred to the page “Report inaccuracy in Yahoo Finance news article.”

It gives instructions to contact the publisher of an article in error (if the item did not originate with Yahoo itself). The Associated Press corrections email address is published.

The same error exists on the AP website.
