SCLM Hacks Hackworth obituary

The New York Times made a couple errors in the obit for the Vietnam war hero Hackworth.

Proving the laziness of the So-Called-Liberal-Media other media like NPR, Time, and the London Times repeated the same errors.

The New York Times incorrectly reported Hackworth was the inspiration for the mad officer Kurtz [played by Marlon Brando) in the "Apocalypse Now" film.

Wrong. That character with the same name was in the original novel Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad the film was inspired by. Hackworth may have been the inspiration for the good guy played by Robert Duvall.
