Bob Costas: I Goofed On Springsteen/Phelps And I'm Sorry

Story is here.

Costas should have known that the Springsteen story was a phony because "Born in the USA" is about a Vietnam Vet coming home from war and is, unlike how a lot of people misunderstand it, not a patriotic paen. Thus dedicating it to Phelps would have been a non sequitor.

Just another instance of how fact checking in the media is now an art as bygone as the Model T.
