Serves Fox right for pouncing all over the incredible story that Sarah Palin doesn’t know Africa is a continent! Turns out the unnamed source for the story is a fraud… That the media has to backtrack with mea culpas is the sort of market correction that I don’t mind seeing more often! As for the perpetrators of the hoax, I am certain they will have a four-picture production deal in Hollywood by the end of the day.
I looooooove that it was Fox, too, that got this one wrong. Liberal media bias whaaaaat? This ought to go to prove that it wasn’t just the lib’rul media out to get Palin – it was the media in general. And maybe they had a reason to do so, too…
Posted by Ames | November 13, 2008, 10:31 amdid you see the report that Michael Barone asserts the media attacked Palin because MSM was angry that she hadn’t aborted her baby … um, WTF?!

the guys in the hoax article are right … msm & punditry & the blogosphere all need to take the proverbial lude.
Posted by didionsmommy | November 13, 2008, 11:33 amFox news and others glorify themselves daily and they have no sense of jornalism news ethics when it comes to checking their news sources. They may have wrote that hoax story theirselves. It all amounts to charactor assationation. I’ll be taking this complaint to the Better Business Bureau
