This is up on the Yahoo News site at the moment, a story about Obama opting out of public financing:

But check out the photo used to illustrate the piece:

There is no mention of bin Laden anywhere in the story.

6. The person who did this will issue a lame ass "apology" I'm sure

It's the same old script:

"Oh, oops, pardon me. I do apologize"

And of course the cat is out of the bag, and public perception has already been shaped.

Kind of like when the judge tells the jury to disregard the out of order statements made by a witness on the stand.

7. They just slapped in an undated photo of Osama in an unidentified location with no story?
