Sometimes journalists are more accurate than they intend to be:

"Correction: In the original version of this report, Newsweek misquoted [Jerry] Falwell as referring to 'assault ministry.' In fact, Falwell was referring to 'a salt ministry' a reference to Matthew 5:13, where Jesus says 'Ye are the salt of the earth.' We regret the error."
