Sometimes irony really can be ironic, as MSNBC falls for a quote on an Al Sharpton parody blog (which is only fair, as long ago, they fell for the “real” Sharpton). Tawana Brawley, not to mention Georges Sorel, could not be reached for comment. And as the Gawker blog notes, “The next time someone trots out the adage about bloggers not being reporters, we’re going to note that reporters aren’t exactly reporters these days either.”
But hey, they do get to decide “what is news and what isn’t“, and much more importantly, what’s haiku-worthy.
