Media misinfo update

Today as the mainstream media scrambles to explain and justify the false information widely publicized yesterday, it is of course all the coal company's fault. The Mine Rescue Command Center (obviously company stooges) misunderstood the rescue teams messages (brave people but only in it for the money and glory).

In other words, it wasn't the media's fault. Their sources were wrong. I have yet to hear or read one apology from the folks who propagated the incorrect story.

What a wonderful profession "journalism" has become, report what you wish, when you wish, regardless of the consequences and then deny any responsibilitity, because afterall your "sources" were wrong.
