The reporter on the news network rushed to the microphone and informed us he heard the judge say "guilty on some of the counts but I couldn't hear all of them", referencing the Rod Blagojevich verdict. When I clicked on the Chicago Sun-Times website the first line read, "guilty on the first 11 counts announced in court Monday, with verdicts on other counts still to be read." The other verdicts would be read in the next three minutes. I remember when I took a journalism class back in the day and the first thing they taught us was "don't get accurate information, don't wait to hear the entire story, and run to the camera to report what you know before anyone else reports it." It's this type of "reporting" that makes The Daily Show the best source of "news" on the planet.
