Two more instances of journalists behaving badly:

Gripping details from a hunt that hadn't happened yet.... Brilliant!

Also, there's this:

A weekly newspaper's publisher plagiarizing all and sundry for her own column.

Journalism's a tough racket: Do something stupid, and there are millions of readers to both find you out and witness your downfall.

The ice and water turned red? I wonder if the hunters in this fictional account were using shotguns or fully automatic assault weapons.

Maybe surplus WW II 20mm anti-tank rifles?

Slightly off-topic, I read an account once of a walrus hunt. The walruses just sort of sit there, so the hunt was described as "a one-hour boat ride to shoot an overstuffed chair."

I've read of this happening before. The extreme environmentalists are notorious for making up such stories for the press to try and win people over to their side.

Ignorance abounds. There were plenty of red flags in the story. "Most of the seals were were less than six weeks old" should have raised doubts as these animals don't have litters. And, assuming they are killed for their pelts, wouldn't it be less profitable to fill them full of holes?

Why do they have to exaggerate? The truth is not bad enough?

Kinda like how the Bush administration pays for fabricated news stories? Yeeeeeeeeeep.
