RatherGate is #1 with a bullet, I assume?
There are just so, so, so many.. but the British newspaper declaring ‘Depression’ has to take the cake.

Every reporter (and Politician) who has said we are in a recession should also be given an honorable mention; such as this:
http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/news/0803/gallery.economy_overview/
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/662099/the_united_states_and_recession_why.html
Or how about all the press (and politicians) who doesn’t understand how the Federal Reserve works and continue to repeat the line that the Fed “prints money”.

Of course, that would be the most blatant..
Oh my goodness. This will take a lot of thought.
I heard just this morning (cnn I think) that Bush totally failed in getting NATO to endorse the missile shield, only to have just read “NATO endorses missile shield”.
Unbelievable.
Reuters smoke.
..and then their was Piers Morgan (Celebrity Apprentice fame) who was sacked from the Daily Mirror for staging fake torture photos.
(still looking for the photo, but here is the culprit)
I take offense at the “WHCA” title. lol
I was part of “WHCA”. The White House COMMUNICATIONS Agency, the folks who provide all of the President’s, VPs, First Ladies and most of the USSS communications.
So... I wish people wouldn’t make up acronyms.
HADITHA!..................
Backstory-
Mirror editor sacked over fake photos of torture
I think this one is good because of his Celebrity Apprentice appearance.
That still cracks me up! Too funny.
By the way, original poster of this on FR was george76, IIRC.
Thanks.
Catching the enemedia in their tricks is fun.
I know Allegra and Dirtboy (I think) figured out the fake YouTube of the soldiers throwing a puppy off a cliff a while back.
If Dan Blather needs a date, he can always go with Baghdad Bob!
That was a good one. It was clear to the enemedia that those cartridges were slingshot ammo. :-)
Remember this ?
The image and the story context imply that he is at the scene of a explosion of a downed Israeli jet..
Who’s that he’s aiming his rifle at ( in next picture )? Are Israeli troops advancing?
Note the caption on the left, below his elbow.
The same guy appears in a photo taken by none other than ex-Reuters camera man Adnan Hajj.
They’re burning tires. It’s a garbage dump.
