from the unfaith site's 'official response'

    MSNBC's Jeannette Walls printed the story as
    fact in yesterday morning's "The Scoop" column...
    and retracted it minutes later with no explanation.

    Dotmusic.com did the same, as did
    Ananova.com in the UK.


welcome to the internet journalism...  post instantly, and if something
turns out not to be true, just replace the fact on your site WITH NO
EXPLANATION!   It Never Happened.

we're all going to be losing our minds within a few years trying to keep
track of this kind of shit.
