How Embarrassing?!
The New York Times puts out an editor's note separating the fact from the fiction of one of its articles.
Is there any credibility left, at all? Can one believe anything?
For isntance, this ABC News report points out that all the hoo-ha over a woman being vacuum-sealed to an inflight toilet seat was also a piece of fiction that grew to become an Urban Legend.
And while, the media is reporting a lot of fiction, Village Voice lists 10 questions that they are not answering.
