If they can't find a fake press release to quote, they make up their own.

The reporter saw it on the Internet and had talked with the governor in the past, so she was familiar enough with the way he talks and writes that she thought it sounded authentic, and she didn't check, which she should have
Yet another graduate from the Mary Mapes school of journalism...

"The reporter saw it on the Internet ..." Wow- this is exceptionally lazy reporting- maybe even Pulitzer quality- like "the reporter heard it in the next stall in the restroom".

Incredible.
A serial killer in prison has more candor and beliveability than the La Slimes or Ny Slimes have.

You just can't trust those bloggers, not even when they're quoted in the LA Times. They don't have the editors and fact checking that print journalism has. < /sarc>

I guess I shouldn't feel so bad now about the Chinese newspaper that ran an Onion story about renovations at the Capitol that would replace the Rotunda with a retractable dome and add luxury boxes.
The Onion Story.
Scroll down to Lost In Translation in the OpinionJournal story.
