Cheers to the LA Times for actually giving credit to the source of their breaking news alert (the AP) and jeers to a whole slew of others (Politico, Hill, Campaigns & Elections, etc.), which fail to admit in their breaking news alert (and sometimes their articles, too) that they’re basing it off someone else’s reporting (AP, TV networks, etc.).

Rudy to endorse McCain:

But our favorite came from MSNBC at 8:07 p.m., reporting that, well, they had nothing to report.
