A week ago The Guardian reported that Margaret Thatcher was refusing to meet with Sarah Palin, attributing a quote to an "ally" of Thatcher as follows:

Quote
Lady Thatcher will not be seeing Sarah Palin. That would be belittling for Margaret. Sarah Palin is nuts.

The blogosphere, including some conservative and libertarian haters of Palin, erupted in joy, with loads of snark and derision directed at Palin.

It turns out that the Guardian story was a hoax, as reported by Nile Gardiner:

Quote
I have spoken to Lady Thatcher’s Private Office regarding the story, and they confirm that the attack on Sarah Palin definitely did not come from her office, and in no way reflects her views. As a former aide to Margaret Thatcher myself, I can attest that this kind of thinking is entirely alien to her, and that such remarks would never be made by her office. She has always warmly welcomed like-minded figures in the United States, and has in the past met with numerous US presidential candidates and political dignitaries when they have visited London. But at the age of 85 she is now able to receive very few visitors at all.

There was never any snub of Sarah Palin by Lady Thatcher’s office. However, there has been a great deal of mischief-making and unpleasantness from sections of the liberal press in a vain and futile attempt to use Margaret Thatcher’s name to smear a major US politician

So now all these people who used a fictitious account of Margaret Thatcher refusing to meet with Palin to belittle Palin now will apologize to Palin, right?

And then to Lady Thatcher, right?

No apology will come and we all know it. Liberals can justify every word they utter.

This is what constitutes journalism in this day and age.  They can make the biggest asses out of themselves by getting story after story totally wrong and yet suffer no shame as they flush all these failures down the memory hole.  But the targets of these libelous reports are forced to wear totally fabricated falsehoods around their necks like an albatross, because these shameless hacks have no problem passing off lies as truth even though they should know better.  Actually, it is supposed to be their JOB to know better, but they willingly trade off their professional ethics in favor of currying favor with one side of political spectrum.  In fact, to refer to them as whores does a disservice to actual ones as they have the occasional tinge of regret, while these swine are incapable of such a moral act.

Actual whores provide a useful service to their customers.
