Media Swallows, Part II

Salon's Amy Reiter leads her November 12 column with the item that Fox News Channel "Reporter" Shepard Smith recently "reported" that Bronx residents were "more likely to give [Jennifer Lopez] a curb job than a blow job." (Whatever you say, Shep.) Salon even links to a clip of the law-breaking thug caught with his mouth full. (Although I couldn't get the clip to pay in the worthless Windows Media Player format.) Sadly, the e-zine gossip columnist was simply rehashing a story reported by bloggers Agenda Bender a full eight days earlier. (Reiter also "steals" my not particularly original or funny J.Blo joke too.) Advantage Blogosphere!

The only answered question in this whole episode is why hasn't this incident appeared on the Drudge Report?
