Yeah, I can see that, and I wouldn't hold what you're doing to the same standard though prisoner6... You aren't the AP wires, you know? Arguably the most powerful news organization on the planet is putting out stories many hours before they even happen is what is disturbing. Of course this wasn't anything big, talking about a White House Breakfast... maybe the writer wanted to catch some Zs so he chucked it out there early... but the implications that come with this is what bothered me. Most of our news comes from the AP wires, and these guys already have enough credibility problems without prewriting their stories. So again, it was more the practice that is concerning than this specific instance. This just allowed me to make the joke that Alito and Bush had breakfast in the middle of the night, etc... and then the opportunity to photoshop Bush sleeping while Seinfeld is on.
But you also have to understand - much of what comes across the AP wire is writnen by folks like prisoner6, and me back when I was in radio news. AP and the rest of the wire services rely very heavily upon their subscribers (print or electronic) for most of their content.
