This is what happens when you have bloggers writing exclusive news rather than journalists who know how to verify facts.

Don't get me wrong: blogging has generally been a good thing for the spread of information and exchange of ideas. If bloggers want to start running down leads and researching exclusives, though, they'd best learn to fact check.



This wasn't a blogger writing an exclusive news, this was someone writing a story that (allegedly) happened to herself.
