Slightly old news, I know, but most definitely worth noting.
See, there are some things that the Post needs to learn. Call 'em journalistic maxims. (and no, not this kind of journalistic maxim.)
Such as:
"Wishing something doesn't make it true"; and
"Confirm your stories. Ideally, before you print them. It works better that way."

"wishing something doesn't make it true"
-- lesson for the folks who still believe Bush wasn't elected in 2000.
"Confirm stories, ideally before you print them."
-- Jayson Blair, Stephen Glass, Jack Kelley, NBC Dateline, and an all-time favorite that is more comparable to the Post's mistake, Dewey Defeats Truman

You'll get no defense of Blair, Glass, et al. from me...
