NYT gets trolled

[Gilligan]

Again. Funny stuff.

The Times is in good company. USA Today fell for the account in March, erroneously reporting that the North Korean government called Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) an "infantile lunatic angrily soiling himself."

Why didn't they just get CNN to run down the account and find the real poster?

These news orgs should stay off the internet. It's fairly clear that they just don't understand how it works.
