NYTimes tries thier hand at "Fake but Truthful"
Look real close at this picture which was posted in the NY Times home page (since taken down)
Notice the caption calling this object part of a missile fired at a house (unwritten but implied from a Predator). Uh, I don't think so. This is an unexploded 155mm artillery shell WITH A FUSE STILL ATTACHED! Everyone in this picture should be dead right now, same with the photographer. YOU DON'T MESS WITH UXO! even BDU's (Bomb Disposal Units) don't play with UXO. This kid is one lucky bastard if he's still breathing.

Update: NYT has a correction up now....

The NYTwits strike again.
Time to sue the Old Mass Media ....
"don't "professionals" know how to check their facts?"
Sadly, fact-checking, along with professional editing, has gone the way of the dodo in MSM.
That's too bad as well, as I constantly remind the Chron people who flame me for grammatical errors:
Had I the resources to hire an editor for my blog, I would and the mistakes would be less as a result.
MSM HAS those resources, and yet they STILL get it wrong.
Which is worse?
