NBC just dropped a new contender for correction of the year

Ah lads, an easy mistake to make.

WOW NBC, JUST wow. We already have the 2016 typo to beat.

Yesterday, the massive media company tweeted this confusing tweet

ISIS fighters are shaving bears and hiding in civilian homes to avoid airstrikes https://t.co/0Kb7iGcLm6 pic.twitter.com/9oq0Vh0gZD

Shaving… bears?

They quickly followed up with this correction

Correction: It was beards, not bears.
