You CAN Fool All Of The People All Of The Time

So, now it can be told: That "Keep Justin Bieber Out Of Atlanta" protest that got covered by practically every news media outlet in the English-speaking world was a radio prank by Rock 100.5/Atlanta's The Regular Guys, and it's more proof that we're at a point where the news media is so frantic to be first and so lazy that they do zero due diligence. In fact, the link here is to the only news media outlet that suspected anything, the local alt-weekly Creative Loafing, which did the math, saw the discrepancies, and even tentatively found the link to the show. Will reporters and news directors ever learn, or are we doomed to "news" that gets fired out before it's confirmed? (Creative Loafing Atlanta)
