Title: In U.K., Murdoch’s Sun Admits Printing Bogus Al Qaeda “Terror Alert” Story

Nevermind. That Al Qaeda threat splashed across the front page of Rupert Murdoch’s Sun a few weeks ago? Well, in a page two correction yesterday, editors just wanted to pass on an update on that story: yeah, turns out that scary bit we told you, well that wasn’t true. Sorry. Moving right along.

As the Guardian’s Roy Greenslade writes today, the pre-Christmas story about a supposed terrorist plot against a live holiday episode of a popular UK television show, Coronation Street, had British journalists smelling a rat from the start. “It had that familiar…ring of complete nonsense.”

The original story–still posted on the Sun’s website–claimed that “cops” were “throwing a ring of steel” around the (Coronation Street) studios in Manchester after being “tipped off” that the show “could be hit by a terror strike.”

Yeah, well, not so much as it turns out, as the Sun’s sorry-for-that-little-spot-of-bother correction makes clear:

Further to our article about increased security at Coronation Street’s studios for their live 50th anniversary episode… we would like to make clear that while cast and crew were subject to full body searches, there was no specific threat from Al-Qaeda as we reported. We apologise for the misunderstanding and are happy to set the record straight.

Misunderstanding, you say? You mean, I read what you wrote and got the wrong idea kind of misunderstanding?

Bogus news stories, Fox News people calling for the execution or assassination of others, it's just business as usual at the Old Fair and Balanced.

A woman named Chris said: “In the four times she explored the area where my inner thigh met my crotch, she touched my labia each time, and one pass made contact with my clitoris, through two layers of clothing. I told her I felt humiliated, assaulted and abused … In my work as a nurse, if I did what the TSA did against a patient’s will it would be considered assault and battery, and I did not see how the TSA should have different rules.” Recipients of such treatment aren’t allowed to show distress. Melissa from Massachusetts did anyway: “I was shaking and crying the entire time. I was begging them to hurry up but they kept stopping and telling me to calm down. It is impossible to gain composure when a stranger has her hands in your underwear.”

Who helped Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab board Northwest Airlines Flight 253?

Sharp-dressed man aided terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab onto plane without passport:

Haskell said he and his wife were sitting on the ground near their boarding gate in Amsterdam, which is when they saw Mutallab approach the gate with an unidentified man.

Kurt and Lori Haskell are attorneys with Haskell Law Firm in Taylor. Their expertise includes bankruptcy, family law and estate planning.

While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said, ‘He’s from Sudan and we do this all the time.’”

With the above the supposed reason that the TSA can fondle your wife and baby in front of you and have you say thank you very much, may I have another?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 8D
