HAHAHAHA!!!!

Apparently CNBC, CNN, The NYT, Reuters and the Washington Post are so eager to go to bat for the debacle that is the proposed cap-and-trade "climate change" legislation trumpeted by the Obama Administration that they can be duped in to running with a fake press release stating that the US Chamber of Commerce had changed it's stance on the controversial legislation. A press release that had the name of the Chamber President misspelled..

This from the "news organizations" that fact checked a Saturday Night Live skit but can't be bothered to do the same regarding the lies they tell about someone like Rush Limbaugh and instead rely on wikipedia citations..

What news outlets? I haven't seen any "news" in a long time. I see hype, I see overgrandize cr@p, but news. Not since Walter Cronkite retired, and I was a child then.

They just told what happened and showed the clips from CNN. What? did they fabricate the CNN newsflash?

Don't think so..

The Ontario Star wrote a peice on it.

You can find stories in the Washington Post on this..

but actually going and finding out is just so much harder than just throwing up some blurb about how some source isn't reliable, isn't it?

CNN actually interviewed the guy and gave him air time to spew his rhetoric..

I guess it's news if CNN says it is.. huh

It was a mistake and was immediately corrected.

what have I told you about using the word "prove"??

What it shows is that the so-called "straight news" media are slanted and biased.

I just watched a 9 minute "interview" of the guy that pulled the "prank" and he was Rick Sanchez was talking to him as if he were really someone worth talking to..

Turns out the group he's with, the yes men, have pulled other "pranks" in the past.. They held a press conference pretending to be represntative of the DOW Chemical group in which they claimed responsibility for a chemical spill in India. The, thankfully temporary, result of the press conference was to cause a precipitous drop in the stock price of DOW chemical. Why the Securities and Exchange Commision hasn't buried these people under a prison is beyond me..
