Gobsmacked (cause the AP really sucks ass)

Via Talking Points Memo I see that John Solomon has won a $500 weekly prize for his seriously flawed reporting on Harry Reid.

Unbelievable. Apparently his editors are clinging to the premise that all publicity is good publicity. They cite the fact that it was "the most talked about political story of the week- twice" but fail to note that it was talked about because the story was dead wrong and most sensible people were flummoxed by the AP's refusal to acknowledge the facts or to correct the record.

This is the Associated Press we're speaking of.

I'm kind of speechless here. Watching journalism die a slow death is proving to be quite painful.
