What a shame, and Newsmax is such a reputable source who does all their own investigating and original stories.
C'mon, there's no need to slam NewsMax. A lot of news organizations were apparently suckered by the photo and were gearing up to run with it.
FR has a lot of people who do very good investigative work, and we have friends in the media that we want to keep, don't we? If we want to maintain a level of respect by the media, we need to self-police things like this, and save the other catty stuff for less important threads. Thanks.
