Because that's how it works, of course. They run a huge headline with some lie they made up, then issue a retraction buried somewhere. But the damage has already been done, and they know it.

CBS did this with the Bush AWOL papers and it cost a few people their jobs.
I wonder in their haste to biatch slap Palin if they didn't properly vett their source for a story about vetting.

Generally anyone who is quoted mentioning "covering up cat turds" to a national reporter is a bit on the Coo- Coo side.

OK CBS, FIRE Steve Benen!!
