Why does everyone always assume a quirky cute actress is responsible for any terrorism? Does she have grounds for an adorkable lawsuit?

Zooey Deschanel had nothing to do with the Boston Marathon bombings. Not exactly breaking news, right?
Tell that to Peter Ogburn's television set, which, while the radio show producer and writer was watching the manhunt for a second suspect unfold on his local Fox station, misidentified the 19-year-old man police were looking for as...
Zooey Deschanel!
"Marathon bombing, he is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel," read the errant caption, which flubbed the name of Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, who was ultimately arrested Friday night after he was found hiding in a boat behind a home in Watertown, Mass.
"Whoa! Epic closed captioning FAIL! "@joelmchale: Oh my RT @peterogburn: pic.twitter.com/F3sbpmq9WO," the New Girl star wrote, retweeting Joel McHale's flabbergasted retweet.
"Oh come on, Fox," Ogburn wrote in first catching the error and sharing a pic of the screen on Twitter.
He also retweeted McHale and Deschanel's reactions, then tweeted the actress, "@ZooeyDeschanel So, you're saying it wasn't you?"
We think that's what she's saying.

I’ll take her into custody.
I was going to call it an epically tragic boating incident.
FREUDIAN SLAP............
Not Guilty regardless the charge
As soon as I release her.
FREUDIAN SLAP............
Haha! I love her sister’s show, “Bones.”
Zooey Deschannel — a bombing suspect.
Well, have you seen her show???
Just want to let everybody know that I have her safely in custody and she’s not going anywhere for a while.
I deem her punishment shall be playful spanking. (Once an declaration of nullity is made by the proper church authorities....)
she's a good girl that helps her mother and doesn't owe a dime to anybody for anything... she owns outright everything she has
Expressive face, arresting eyes, and a role as Trillian on "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

We need more such mistakes in the MSM.
And she always seems so nice!
I bet it’s one of those cut and paste mistakes so common since the Winblows era has started. I mean, we see it all the time here on the religious threads where believers mistakenly post lengthy excerpts from one or another Holy Book, excerpts that are irrelevant to the article at the top, to the discussion being carried, and ones that no one including the poster ever reads.
