Professional journalistic standards are on display tonight at CBS News, where they don’t seem to know the difference between China and Japan: China Plans To Land On Moon By 2024, Top Scientist Says Mission Will Include Walk On Lunar Surface. (Hat tip: louminatti.)

UPDATE at 6/21/06 6:55:55 am:

Several readers have pointed out that not only is the flag wrong, but the shadow added by CBS is going in the wrong direction.

And that’s not all. This isn’t even the Earth’s moon. It’s Dione, one of the moons of Saturn. (Thanks to zombie for locating the exact photo.)

UPDATE at 6/21/06 9:56:15 am:

CBS has fixed the flag, but left the other mistakes uncorrected: What’s Wrong With This Picture? - Public Eye.

Nate Silver: Politico Co-Founders Lack ‘Curiosity for the World Outside of the Bubble’
"It's striking how preoccupied Harris and VandeHei are with the perception that Politico is too 'insidery,'" Silver wrote. "My personal critique of their work cuts a little deeper than that, however. It's not that they are too 'insidery' per se, but that the perceptions of Beltway insiders, which Politico echoes and embraces, are not always very insightful or accurate. In other words, the conventional ...
