Here we go...

The coincidence is uncanny! U.S. election season heats up, the terrorists "threaten America."

No, it's not The Onion. It's AP!

Fresh off the Yahoo front page, is this beauty of a headline:

Commander Warns of Al-Quaida Threat

Sounds scary, right? Unless you actually, you know, read the article. Unintentional hilarity after the fold...

I see the Yahoo front page many times a day en route to one of my email accounts, and admittedly, I also like to check the headlines and see what kind of spin and garbage are being fed to the masses that day.

There had been nothing on the McCain Lobbygate story all day today, despite, as I understand it, the revelation this morning of a Washington Post interview in which Bud Paxson himself confirms that he met with McCain and 'probably' Vicki Iseman, both before and after McCain's strenuous (and ultimately successful) efforts to influence the FCC on behalf of Paxson Communications. As we all know by now, Bud Paxson's version of the events directly contradicts McCain's outraged rebuttal on thursday.

So by late afternoon today I'm a little disappointed that there's been no mention of what seems to me a very salient and damning new development in the biggest story of the week.

Then imagine my surprise late this afternoon when I go to Yahoo's front page and see this headline for one of the top five stories-- Paxson Exec. Denies McCain Meeting
