What's this site all about?
This site is dedicated to correcting the errors Robin Quivers makes on the air during the Howard Stern Show on Sirius Satellite Radio, not just during her news cast, but throughout the the whole show. We're not a hate site, and we try not to be too mean-spirited, but we do enjoy poking fun at Ms. Quivers and her less-than-perfect "news reporting" skills.
Our greatest wish is to show Robin the error of her ways and help her to finally realize she is woefully underqualified to masquerade as a real news person, thus our motto is "Righting Robin's Wrongs Daily."
However, we are also fully aware that Robin doesn't give a shit about us, or our crappy little Web site (she has said so), and she probably wouldn't pee on us if we were on fire. That's okay, we will humbly scrape our broken hearts and trampled sense of worth up from the floor upon which Robin stomped them to pieces, and we will heal ourselves and persevere in this most important mission we have undertaken.

Why don't you like Robin?
We do! She's a great source of inspiration for people to discuss the news, and her frequent goofs and gaffes make this site possible.
We're not anti-Robin, we just get a kick out of making notes about how inept she is at the job she pretends to do. Granted, one could make the argument that she must be doing something right. After all, she's been with Howard for over 25 years and lately she's taking home a pretty fat paycheck for it. This is true, she is doing something right, but getting the news correct is not one of those things. Luckily for her, Howard doesn't keep her around for her reporting prowess or her knack for worldly knowledge. If her job hinged on such lofty criteria, nobody would know the name 'Robin Quivers'.

I heard Robin say something that was wrong. How can I get it printed on your site?
Go here and submit it. An administrator will review it and post it if it is deemed acceptable.

Why didn't my submission get posted?
If we've already reviewed it, the most likely reason is that it didn't meet our standards for publication. That could be due to a number of different things, and there are some guidelines on the submission page that may be helpful.
For the most part we are looking for accuracy (is it a true mistake by Robin and you can prove it?), and we like details and clear, understandable writing. There are also certain things that will make your submission more likely to get posted:
1) Be able to describe HOW Robin is wrong and provide the correct information that she should have said.
2) Be able to cite a source for your information, which means providing a link to a web page where you found the correct info.
3) Humor is always looked upon favorably. This doesn't mean bashing Robin or calling her names. That's not funny. Write something that makes people laugh and it's almost a guarantee it will be posted.

My submission got posted, then removed later. What is going on?
This could be due to one of two reasons:
When we initially approve a submission we often go on the assumption that the submitter is correct and accurate, because we can't immediately research and verify the accuracy of every submission right away (particularly because we're on the West coast). Sometimes after posting a submission, readers will let us know that it is not correct and it should not have been posted on the site. When this happens we will remove the submission until we can further investigate and determine if it qualifies as a legit Robin goof up.
Another reason is because many people often submit the same mistake minutes or hours apart. While we tend to give a small preference to those who submit first, we are still overwhelmingly concerned with the quality of submissions. There are occasions where we approve an early submission and then later a submission comes in on the same topic which is funnier, or more detailed, or more well written, and we may choose to publish that one and retract the previous one. It's not meant to favor or disfavor anyone, it's simply meant to provide the most entertaining content for our readers.
