How HARD is it for Yahoo News to NOT confuse our President with OBL????
<<Science takes on terror hunt
A geographer uses innovative analysis to narrow Obama bin Laden's location to three sites. » More USATODAY.com>>

That was on the front page of www.yahoo.com this morning. Hopefully, it's been fixed or taken down by now. Does anyone actually CHECK these things?

1. Typical
Someone with an agenda at Yahoo. I expect to see plenty of this over the next eight years. Luckily, I don't think it will matter much.

6. When evryone was getting used to Obama I could excuse it.
I even made the mistake a few times to the delight of my conservative co-workers, but now there is no excuse especially in print.

7. It would seem that the B and the S are extremely close to each
other on that "writer's" QWERTY keyboard.

Yeah, I call BS on that.

11. Actually, I think the problem may have been at USA Today.
That's where the article was from and Yahoo was probably just displaying the feed.

12. Yes, Yahoo news doesn't edit sources ...
they simply reprint. They cover a wide variety of sources, and display whatever errors are placed in the sources. I've seen pretty substantial errors coming off of OneWorld and other liberal/left news sites, too.

Sometimes, paranoia is just that. This is not a "story".
