Confirmed: ABC Denver misnames Petraeus book: “All up in my snatch”A reader just sent me something that I didn’t believe. Then he sent me a photo. Then he sent me a video. Then I found a comment on ABC Denver’s Web site from another viewer who saw the same thing. So now I’m printing it. (UPDATE: It’s nw been confirmed by the local station.)
In a piece on the 5pm news about now-resigned CIA director David Petraeus and his affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, ABC News’ Denver affiliate put a photo of the biography on the screen, but the book had an awfully odd name.
The name of the Petraeus biography is, in real life, “All In.”

Lesson here: Never grab images off of the Internet. BTW, I tried to find this particular image of the book online, but couldn’t. Which makes me think someone was being cute in the graphics department of the station, and then made a job-killing mistake. (The Weekly Standard confirmed with ABC Denver’s assignment desk that a mistake was made.)
