The Media - "Salon Fakes Palin, Bachmann Quotes Blaming Obama for Casey Anthony Verdict"
This should be a lesson for those of you that still believe wholeheartedly in the printed word.
Granted, if you read the whole story at Salon.com, you might figure the quotes were phony; however, it could be easily missed, not to mention the similarly misleading headline.
This is just nasty, dishonest journalism...

Kristinn Taylor and Andrea Shea King report at BigJournalism.com:
"In an article published Tuesday entitled 'Casey Anthony: The Candidates Respond,' Salon Magazine smeared Sarah Palin and several Republican presidential candidates with faked quotes reacting to the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial. The faked quotes, especially those falsely attributed to Michele Bachmann and Palin, made their way around the Internet this week, adding to the media-driven campaign of hatred against leading Republican women."
