Not surprisingly, CNN’s Jeanne Moos had fun with Fox’s mistaken story about the LAPD buying 10,000 jetpacks at $100,000 a pop. She did manage, initially, to miss the fact that Fox corrected the story approximately 40 minutes after it ran.
On the other hand, we now know where the jetpack story originated – The Weekly World News, home of Bat Boy. Getting fooled by a story on WWN ranks right up there by repeating an Onion story as true.
