AP mistakenly reports on fake GE press release

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

The Yes Men prove yet again that corporations are psychopathic and the press are stenographers for money/power.

The fake release said that General Electric, responding to criticism over the amount of taxes it pays, would repay a $3.2 billion tax refund for 2010 to the Treasury Department. The fake release, which was emailed to the AP, included a GE logo and a link to a website designed to look like GE's website. The AP published a 90-word story based on the release. Thirty-five minutes later, AP withdrew the story and advised its customers that the story was a hoax.

LOL.
