Oh those evil demons of the Media!!  First, it's CBS foisting forged 
documents on us and now... and now this!  

Did anyone bother to READ that pulled story??  Did anyone bother to look at 
the screen shots?  (Which was a nice head's up move, by the way.)

If you read the story you immediately realize:  Wrong story, wrong place, 
wrong time.  (Sorry, couldn't help it...)

First, it was an AP story, not an ABC News report.  Second, the story is 
obviously a "work in progress" and wasn't ever meant to go live.  The AP, 
it appears, released a story in transition, with "background" grafs from an 
earlier story still there for the reporter to "write thru" as we dogs of 
the media like to say.

There is NOTHING in the story to indicate a "winner" or "loser."  

This was simply a, ohmygwadtheretheygoagain, mistake.

Mistakes happen.  Get over it.  That's why the story was pulled so quickly.
