DFU SONG: Out of Time (bwahahahahaha...TIME Mag falls for Protest Warrior spoof...what idiots!)

This is just as good as it gets. TIME Magazine publishes the photo below regarding a protest at the GOP convention in New York. They actually believe that this group of protestors was against President Bush and Ann Coulter. In the photo, the signs held by the Protest Warriors should have given the nitwits a clue.

CommunistsforKerry.com is pretty obvious. And the sign in the background about criminals in favor of gun control is like a 2x4 in the side of the head. But they still didn't get it.

Demon and Idol Protesters blast Coulter at the G.O.P.
Convention in New York City last year

Protest Warriors pulled it off...and now at TIME we're gonna scoff
Their chain was jerked and they look like such fools

They're out of touch for certain...for them it will be curtains
They are really very stupid, those folks at TIME

So join in mocking nitwits who work at TIME
They're a taco short of combo plates there at TIME
We will have a laugh...have a laugh at their big gaff
They're really very stupid, those folks at TIME

They pretended they were p*ssed...for Kerry they're the communists
But TIME, I guess, is really quite naive

They're out of touch for certain...for them it will be curtains
They are really very stupid, those folks at TIME

So join in mocking nitwits who work at TIME
They're a taco short of combo plates there at TIME
We will have a laugh...have a laugh at their big gaff
They're really very stupid, those folks at TIME

"Criminals for gun control"...man, at that sign we'd really roll
But TIME was clueless...clueless as could be

They're out of touch for certain...for them it will be curtains
They are really very stupid, those folks at TIME

So join in mocking nitwits who work at TIME
They're a taco short of combo plates there at TIME
We will have a laugh...have a laugh at their big gaff
They're really very stupid, those folks at TIME

The drugged out mediots pretending to be reporters and journalists are outing themselves daily.

Below is another great example of creative lying posing as reporting:

Writer Fabricated Boston Globe Story on Seal Hunt

Fri Apr 15, 6:54 PM ET

By Greg Frost

BOSTON (Reuters) - A Boston Globe freelance writer fabricated large chunks of a story published this week, the newspaper said on Friday in the latest incident to embarrass the U.S. media.

The Globe, which is owned by The New York Times Co., said it stopped using writer Barbara Stewart because of a story that ran on Wednesday about a seal hunt off Newfoundland -- a hunt, it turns out, that had not taken place.

The Halifax, Nova Scotia-datelined article described in graphic detail how the seal hunt began on Tuesday, with water turning red as hunters on some 300 boats shot harp seal cubs "by the hundreds."

The problem, however, was that the hunt did not begin on Tuesday; it was delayed by bad weather and was scheduled to start on Friday, weather permitting, the Globe said in an editor's note.

Stewart could not immediately be reached for comment.

The newspaper, which first learned of the problem when the Canadian government called to complain, said in an editor's note it should not have published the story and should have insisted on attribution for details because the writer was not reporting from the scene.

"Details included the number of hunters, a description of the scene, and the approximate age of the cubs. The author's failure to accurately report the status of the hunt and her fabrication of details at the scene are clear violations of the Globe's journalistic standards," the paper said.

'NEVER ASSUME'

Globe Foreign Editor James Smith said that the newspaper knew Stewart was not at the seal hunt and was doing her reporting from Halifax.

"What she told us -- and we did check during the day -- was that she had confirmed with one of the fishermen in the story that it was going ahead," Smith said, adding that in retrospect the paper should have worked harder to clarify this.

"The point is, never assume," he told Reuters.

He added that Globe staffers have since reviewed two other stories Stewart wrote for the paper, but found no inaccuracies or other problems with them.

Canada is extremely sensitive about the hunt, during which hundreds of thousands of seals are beaten to death or shot for their pelts every year. U.S. activists, who says the seals are killed inhumanely, are urging consumers to shun Canadian seafood until the hunt is stopped.

Canadian Fisheries Minister Geoff Regan said his officials had called the paper to point out the error.

"We've been trying to get the facts out about the seal harvest, the fact that the herd is very healthy ... that in 98 percent of cases it (the hunt) is done in a humane way," he told Reuters in a telephone interview.

Officials with the newspaper were not immediately available for further comment.

U.S. media organizations have been hit with a series of high-profile cases involving plagiarism or fabrication.

In 2003, The New York Times' top two editors, Howell Raines and Gerald Boyd, left the paper after it was disclosed that reporter Jayson Blair had fabricated and plagiarized material.

CBS News, The Washington Post, NBC News, CNN, the New Republic magazine and USA Today have also been caught up in celebrated flaps over inaccurate reporting.
