This is an increasingly common problem in the modern era of Drudge-style
blogo-"journalism".
There was a time not so long ago when it was considered necessary to
verify a story with three sources before going to print.
Those days are long gone in favor of "Get the scoop at any cost and we
don't even care if it's a real scoop just get it!"

<sigh> No one can believe anything in the media anymore these days! I remember
when you could at least believe the facts reported (if not the slant they were
delivered with) simply because reporters were bound by honor to do the research
needed to validate their claims. I guess honor is all but gone in our modern world.
That being said, how many people these days read the disclaimers in dialog
boxes anymore?
