I heard that a couple of major media outlets dropped the ball on this one. They're all in such a hurry to be first with the "facts," that many times they get the facts completely wrong. Completely shoddy journalism.

Agree with Pachacutec. It was Fox and CNN that got it wrong because they only looked at the first page of the decision before spouting off. Heads should roll. I would hope that they would learn their lesson, but they won't. We should ridicule them as much as possible so maybe, just maybe, they will change their ways.
