This Santa Cruz Sentinel article by Chris Watson about Jane Fonda is recent and the biggest BARF I've seen in a long time. Previous FReeper thread with details: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1390665/posts
Dan Blather and Eason Jordan should be at the top of the nominee list.

Just two nominations.
I'm sure they never leave though.
Many in the media have continued to spin, distort and misinform the public about Terri Schiavo.
Only 10 winners? This is gonna be tough! So many lies, too little winners! lol
Turn on the evening news. Any report about Iraq could be an instant winner...
The AP, for ther false reporting about a crowd booing at a Bush rally when they learned that Bill Clinton was rushed to the hospital.

Dan Rather/60 Minutes must be a given...
John Kerry- I will sign the 180 form!
Who ran the Schiavo obit a day or so early, complete with MS being at her bedside when she died?
Two words: Global Warming
The Boston Globe is lobbying big time for this award.
In the catagory of "Just Because I Can"
My nominee: Scott Lindlaw of the AP
Scott wrote that a Republican audience for President Bush booed at the mention of former President Clinton's upcoming heart surgury - "Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them."
The only problem was that the crowd did not erupt in a chorus of boos as AP had reported. While there may have been some booing, many in the crowd clapped respectfully when the President offered his good wishes to Clinton

Transcript! - that just popped into my head. If I have the energy later, I'll look up the transcript.
Take the Shaivo (sp?) case. Before she died the media was crowing that "the people don't want the republicans to interfere". Then after she died, some genuine surveys came out and said the opposite.
Today, we're told that 60% of the people don't want the rules changed in the senate (like very many people even understand what the issue is).
Surveys are "Faux News".
Who was the paper that did the clubbing baby seals stories in the first person the day the hunt was postponed? Was that the Boston Globe?
In the Eason Jordan category: the Italian Commie reporter who said US troops intentionally targeted her as she was being driven to the Baghdad Airport after being released by terrorists.
In the general award category: Katie Couric. Just because. ;^)
