Can you spot the massive error in this Washington Post cover?
The Women's March on Washington is poised to become the largest anti-inauguration protest, which is why it's especially important to get the facts straight.
Earlier this morning, however, The Washington Post Express, the newspaper's free daily, made the Women's March its cover story, and appeared to have forgot a critical detail. They switched the symbols for male and female, seeming to suggest that the largest protest of women on Capitol Hill would actually just be a gathering of men.
Of course, there is a large mass of men coming to the White House, just not on the picket lines.
The Post quickly deleted the tweet, but not before social media outrage set in. Critics lambasted the publication for making the error, saying it emblematized the gender makeup of the paper's staff.
The Post apologized and even offered a make-up tweet.
The Women's March on Washington will be held on Jan. 21. For more details (and correct symbols), check out their site here.
