Paging Walter Cronkite

Remember just last month when old Walt was in the news:
The newsman said he values the Internet as a research tool, but he finds some stories published on the Web -- scandals especially -- play too fast and loose with the facts.

"I am dumbfounded that there hasn't been a crackdown with the libel and slander laws on some of these would-be writers and reporters on the Internet. I expect that to develop in the fairly near future," he said.
Hey Walt, here's a quiz:

Q: Who just played fast and loose with the facts (and quite possibly libelous)?

a) Those wacky bloggers

b) your old stomping ground: CBS News

Someone should give Ed Wasserman the same quiz.
