Didn't say the stone, but the conservative commentators who picked it up so fast. Another case even more egregious was the accusations by the Washington Times last year that wildlife biologists were faking data, when all it turned out to be was their sending test samples for validation. Even though it was shown how incorrect the article was, and that the validation procedures had been standard for years, there was never any retraction. the story was picked up by a variety of conservative republican commentators and ranted on, even after it was shown to be a thoroughly bogus story. there have been other such incidents as well. I just find that there is a very fundamental lack of honesty on their part that occurs all too frequently. Its as if they have decided that the truth is useful only if it serves to advance the cause, otherwise prevarications serve much better.
