That was a little strong, let me rephrase. A BLP subject does not have the right to expunge any material that other editors deem has come from a reliable source. If you show your boobs on video while you were drunk once, guess what? You did it, now face the consequences :)
I'm talking about the case where something simply incorrect makes it into a newspaper and never goes away, and the subject can't correct it because robotic idiots claiming to be editors read in WP:RS that a newspaper is always a Reliable Source. Never mind that anyone who's ever actually been in the press will laugh hollowly at the notion. Suability is not the same as accuracy.
