Dan Frommer of The Business Insider writes Thursday about the byline error in today’s New York Times.

Frommer writes, “Joe Nocera is the business columnist that Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs called a ‘slime bucket who gets most of his facts wrong.’ David Pogue is the Apple-loving technology reviewer who says the new iPhone ‘vaults a year ahead’ of its rivals.

“So it’s extra ironic that Pogue’s iPhone 3G S review graces (some of?) today’s Times print edition with Nocera’s byline on it.

“As one reader notes, it’s ‘like slapping a McCoy byline on the Hatfield Family Journal or something.'”
