Reminds me of a few years ago, when the Onion ran a story about the Congress going on strike until they got a retractable dome. The Chinese media (run by their Gov) picked it up and claimed this as an example of capitalism gone awry.
In 2002 or 2003, a New York Times editorial made a bunch of ridiculous claims about the Patriot Act, and another news paper ued it as a basis for a "real" story. Then Daschle read it, and then tried to use it against the president. Some reporter had to point out that Dascle was commenting on a story that was false. He then chewed out the media at a press conference.
It is great whenever the media is confused by its own lies.
Help me out here Mike, who is Daschle ?
