Subject: WOTY on CNN

CNN Headline News ran with the WOTY story in four or five consecutive
half-hours Saturday night. As did all the news organizations, they got it
wrong, and said that "Soccer Mom" was the winner, rather than "-mom". The
news media almost NEVER (in my history of studying them and being a part of
them) "nail" a story.
