CNN picked up the bogus drone story. Do these people not read? Blix said he found RPVs. I'm slightly boggled.

Must not give into frustration! Must be strong!

Medicine: Lots and lots of Negativland's "Christianity is Stupid".

You see, there was this boy in the midwest who liked his music a lot. His mom thought it was from the devil and insisted he stop playing it, instead listening to good wholesome Christian music. So he killed her.

Negativland in a fit of insanity decided to issue a fake press release about how it was their song, "Christianity is Stupid", that caused the deadly argument. They had no idea the SF Chronicle would actually pick it up as a real story.... then the AP wire. No one bothered to actually call anyone from the midwestern town, they trusted the one fake press release.

Moral of the story? The press doesn't bother to check its sources.

You might submit your findings to Media News; they have a lot of interesting things to say of the media's treatment of the current events already:
