OT, but can people check fact before they print something?

History backs up that claim: Democrats John Kerry, Bill Clinton and Michael Dukakis all came from behind to win Iowa, then gathered steam to eventually win their party's nomination; Republican George W. Bush, after winning Iowa but losing New Hampshire to Arizona Senator John McCain, managed to win South Carolina

:banghead:

Factcheck: Dukakis finished 3rd in Iowa and Clinton finished, well, who knows, but certainly not first.

1. That is really poor journalism

but they did get one of them right. Had they done this on a high school history class essay, I think I know what the grade would have been. I can't believe both the writer and the editor were so bad. The funny thing is they are likely among the people that resent the fact that bloggers, who are usually not professional, can get the influence they once had.

Clinton didn't even run in Iowa because Tom Harkin was the favorite son.
