But it's our own fault. There was one little AP story, and it got pushed everywhere, and what did we do? We clicked the link, and then we said "OMG LOOK AT THIS I HAVE TO POST THIS TO FACEBOOK" and the people with the websites said "ooh, look at those clicks."
The only reason this was whipped into a crisis is that we allowed it to be.
It's 2012, and we are the media.
