We expect this from the New York Times, but we thought they had their shit together over in LA. We were wrong again!
Apparently, the lack of news around the holidays doesn't just create the need for Top Ten lists, it also creates the need to make up fake news. Based, obviously, on fake news. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times ran a front-page story on the successful reintroduction of wolves into nature. Their supporting quote came straight from a reliable source: an April Fool's press release. Super reporting, guys.
In Wyoming, for example, Gov. Dave Freudenthal last April decreed that the Endangered Species Act is no longer in force and that the state 'now considers the wolf as a federal dog.'
A federal dog? Umm, that kind of sounds like the type of quote you might want to check. Though, we do understand the pressure a reporter forced to cover news in Wyoming must be under.
Hey, did you hear the fake Wyoming news that "the state now considers Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger doin' it doggie style a federal requirement?"
