Perhaps the most famous incorrect banner headline in history is “Dewey Defeats Truman” which was published on the front page of the Chicago Tribune on November 3, 1948, the day after incumbent President Harry Truman won an upset victory over the Republican Governor of New York, Thomas E. Dewey, in the presidential election. In one of history's most iconic photographs, Truman can be seen holding the famous issue of the newspaper soon after winning the election.
