When pointing out mistakes, TC should also point out their own. In the original post, MA gets the name wrong for former assemblyman Canciamilla; it's Joe not Gerald.

Heh… Gotta’ love when traditional media tries to take advantage of news broken by new media…

And the Sacramento Bee is exceptional at goofs like this.

Add to this the fact that Sacramento TV stations tend to run stories found on Digg a week or three previous. Awesome.

Looks like traditional media is trying to race against the crowd-sourced blogosphere by cutting the fact-checking step.

I can’t agree more. Need the Fry’s ad, especially on Sunday!

But yeah, I feel ashamed to live in Sacramento now. =/

Should have included the last line from the article:

“He then threw his steaming hot triple soy latte espresso at me, which caused extensive second degree burns over the top half of my body. Later on, he also unfriended me.”

He’s lucky that fake $50 million lawsuit didn’t turn into a fake $100 million personal injury case.
