Merry Christmas MSM! As our calendar year draws to a close, we have many MSM blunders to laugh about. Most have been "purged from the corporate archives" except those who helped expose the original blunder (FR included).
This MSM Blunder of the Year Candidate hit in early February 2005.
May we never forget John Adam and the MSM who so eagerly brought him before us.

"Then later, a toy manufacturer said the figure in the photo resembled one of its military action figures, dubbed "GI Cody."

Combing Web sites for Blender fodder yesterday, I had a unique view of what went down: Drudge posted his pictures, and within 10 or 15 minutes both cnn.com and Yahoo! had taken down their respective kidnapping stories. Maybe 20 minutes later, while I was trying to get a look at Cody on the Dragon Models USA, Inc.'s Web site, CNN posted an Associated Press story that reported four important things: The U.S. military reported that no soldiers were missing; the Arabic text in the kidnappers' photo featured "several misspellings and repetitions"; the man in the photo "appeared stiff and expressionless"; and Liam Cusack, Dragon Models' marketing coordinator, told reporters, "It is our doll ... To me, it looks definitely like it is. Everything the guy is wearing is exactly what comes with our figure. If you look at the two pictures side by side, it'd be a huge coincidence."

Somebody needs to make a blooper reel of all the MSM screw-ups. I still have to say danny rather's phony "documents" is the all-time great, but there are plenty of others. Remember the reporter who tried to get a bunch of black NO refugees to bad-mouth Bush and none of them would? He went down a line of about 8 people and quit in disgust when nobody would bash Bush.
