SCOTUSblog: Tom Goldstein: We’re getting wildly differing assessments, on how CNN got the Affordable Care Act reporting wrong. Fascinating inside look at news being made.

I remember back in the 80's when Pres. George HW Bush got sick at a state dinner and threw up on the Japanese Prime Minister. There was a great clip of the CNN anchor wanting to get the scoop that the man might have died, so he begins to say "We have unconfirmed reports that the President......" when you hear a voice off-camera shouting "Stop!! STOP!!!". The anchor jumps like he just had a hiccup, then, cheated of his chance to look like Walter Cronkeit at Dallas, mumbles something about waiting on that one.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
