ADN: Say... maybe Sarah Palin WAS right about that 'largest island' thing

*
It's not called the lamestream media without reason. Don Surber explains how the Associated Press contradicted itself:

Oddly enough, Mike Dunham of the Anchorage Daily News fact-checked the Associated Press and found that yes, Kodiak Island is bigger than the main island of Hawaii, which AP listed at 4,028 square miles...

“I thought Daily News readers deserved something a little more authoritative. So I went to Webster’s New World College Dictionary, 4th Edition, ‘The Official Dictionary of The Associated Press.’ There on page 794, it gave the area of Kodiak Island — not the archipelago or islands, plural — as 5,363 square miles.”

Yes, that’s right. No one in the world’s largest news-gathering organization bothered to read its own dictionary.

Perhaps AP should assign 11 reporters to fact-check itself.
