Would go buy a lottery ticket if they were sold locally -- almost feel like a trip down to Gainesville, TX, is in order today for a Texas lottery ticket.
What a day so far!

Anybody believe this, "oh, so sorry, we misquoted" baloney? They know others will use their original story, come election time, and never be corrected - not by journalists anyway.

I hope they print the retractions on the front page instead of burying them on the back page of the home and garden section.
I know, I'm a dreamer....

Won't stop the Bush haters from making the claim.

Irrelevant..........
Now marking the Guardian down in my (now long) list of obviously BIASED (towards the left) media sources.
At least they're honest though. I'll give 'em that. If this were the Slimes, or CBSABCNBC we were talkin about, there'd be NO retraction I'm sure.

This is how it's supposed to work but rarely does over here. Front page screw-up = front page retraction. It might have something to do with Britain's lack of "First Amendment" protection and much more stringent libel laws.

Needless to say, that this is hugh. Possibly series.
To: Dont Mention the War
Yeah, after the damage is done, they retract it. How many people read the original misstatements and didn't see the retraction?

HA ha...this is why they're so preoccupied with missing WMD's in Europe and lefty-land, because they have egg on their face for virtually everything else because they are always wrong.
To: Howlin
Not weird, Howlin. The internet is a tool that has made it possible at long last to shine the light of truth where it most needs to be shone: the news media.
I don't know what the ultimate fallout will be as the general public increasingly sees for themselves the sham big media is, but it can only strengthen the internet. I'm hoping it will eventually lead to a strengthening of our woefully weak libel and slander laws. Freedom of the press should not mean that the media are immune from the same type of legal action as other companies are when they sell defective products.
