What the blogosphere should look out for

A highly "respected" media outlet publishing a high profile article that gets the blogosphere a buzz with quotes and using it as reference, and have the authors turn around and say (in their best Bobby Byrd voice), "Ah ha! We fabricated the whole thing. The blogosphere FELL for it! See, they have no checks and balances."

This, of course, would be incredibly stoooopid for the dinosaurs, but I'm not putting anything past the 12-to-1 crowd, anymore.
