Trickle-down economics is the first cousin of austerity economics. Austerity is nuts when so many millions are out of work. And as we’ve learned before, trickle-down is a fraud. Nothing ever trickles down. - Robert Reich, "A Story for May Day"

WaPo Retraction: Story, Like Sarah Herself, Was Made Up
TPM:
The Washington Post on Tuesday issued a correction to a piece that incorrectly claimed Sarah Palin was joining the pan-arab news network Al Jazeera. In the piece, published Tuesday morning, Suzi Parker quoted The Daily Currant, a satirical news site, on Palin's move:The Daily Currant is, of course, a satire site.
“As you all know, I’m not a big fan of newspapers, journalists, news anchors and the liberal media in general,” Palin told the Web site The Daily Currant. “But I met with the folks at Al-Jazeera and they told me they reach millions of devoutly religious people who don’t watch CBS or CNN. That tells me they don’t have a liberal bias.”

When 'journalists' are no longer required to read with comprehension or to spell, this is what happens. Obviously they missed the "Currant" clue, or didn't know it is a different word than "Current", and the satire totally escaped their understanding.
ReplyDeleteLook at the number of "journalists" who think that "Onion" is a variant spelling of "Opinion"... ;)
