Another day, another Fox News"Editors note"...Whoops

[Rose Siding]

Editor’s Note:

In an version of this article that was published earlier, the Communists for Kerry were portrayed as a group that was supporting John Kerry for president. FOXNews.com’s reporter asked the group’s representative several times whether the group was legitimate and supporting the Democratic candidate, and the spokesman insisted that it was. Communists for Kerry is, in fact, a parody group.

If only there were some way your reporters could have checked this fact before running the story (which is now doing the RW emailing and blogging rounds presented as reality)

Maybe a google search showing that communists for Kerry is a right wing 527 group?
Is it sloppy, lazy journalism or unethical partisan shilling by Fox News?
We report - You decide.
