Everybody at AP knows that pipeline leaks cause birth defects, so this was making a statement.
Wow, my head is spinning. At 7:19, I posted the joke that the fauxtog was "making a statement" and there is a thread started at 7:22 with a quote from Reuters saying their fired fauxtog was "not making a statement."
Different news service, different fired fauxtog, but I just love when that happens. Ask a question on FR and the media who doesn't read here, ha ha, answers or rebuts with their own spin within a matter of minutes.
