You know, if the press really was serious about cleaning up their image, thought obviously they aren't, printing front page over the fold retractions of stories just like this would be one of the more important things they can do.
Everyone makes mistakes. It takes integrity to admit to them though.
Of course, it is interesting that the press's mistakes all lean one way. Whether it is the bogus rape pictures or now this wedding hoax, they only seem to make anti-American mistakes...
