In September of 2009 the website
MomLogic posted a piece:
Gun Accidents Kill 500 Kids Each Year. The gunblogosphere found it in May of 2010, courtesy of
Damnum Absque Injuria. Apparently a couple of
propagandists journalists at the
Denver Post recently discovered it, and took it as Gospel.
Instapundit links to the blog
Free Colorado where - professional journalist - Ari Armstrong did to the
Denver Post writers
what I did to the
MomLogic column, only he went directly to the authors of the piece. (I
know I left a detailed comment there, but it's gone now.)
At least he got a
retraction out of the
Post. I still haven't seen
Salon retract their much
more outrageous "statistic" of
4,000 deaths a year.
And they keep telling us that the
professionals have all these layers of editorial oversight, which is what makes them better than bloggers.
I don't bloody think so.
