Media Matters catches Time magazine recycling a huge myth about President Clinton.
Time:
Clinton later insisted that he hadn't asked for (and had been told that there wasn't) a hold on air traffic while "Hair Force One" sat on the runway. Yet scheduled flights had already been forced to circle, people had already been made hours late, and "Hairgate" solidified an opinion in some quarters of Clinton's out-of-touch excesses.
Newsday in 1993:
According to Federal Aviation Administration records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, the May 18 haircut caused no significant delays of regularly scheduled passenger flights - no circling planes, no traffic jams on the runways.
The corporate press is particularly crazy and desperate these days with their archaic business model crumbling around them. But holy hell -- at least try to resist the urge to make shit up.
