LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger does not want to destroy the moon.I'd like to emphasize "failed to check his facts." Not surprising.
A U.S. political commentator has admitted he failed to check his facts when he erroneously reported on the MSNBC cable news network last month that Schwarzenegger had jokingly advocated doing away with the moon.
In one of the stranger mea culpas from a major U.S. news outlet in recent years, the commentator, Joe Scarborough, a former congressman, acknowledged on Friday that the governor's purported lunar outburst on the nationally syndicated radio show of Howard Stern was actually a spoof.
Offering truth beyond the mere black and white.
