Stupid Reporters

Earlier this week, the FT had a story about how Icelanders were "confused" about the referendum to cave in to British pressure to pay for the losses of the private bank, Icesave. Unfortunately, I'm not a paid subscriber to FT, so I can't link to one of the stupidest and worst examples of reporting in recent history. The reporter who wrote this one should be demoted to stories about Brittany Spears.

In a stunning display of absolute non-confusion, 98% of Icelanders voted "NO" on the deal Parliament worked out with Britain and Holland earlier this year to saddle the people of Iceland with the debt of a bankrupt private bank.

If there was ever proof that reporters are more confused than the rest of us, this is it.
