1. TPMMuckRaker.com becomes essential reading in Kaloogian Kase

But the NYTimes improperly credits them with taking the lead in the story:

"The unraveling of the error began on the Web log of Joshua M. Marshall (www.talkingpointsmemo.com) and a related site, www.TPMmuckraker.com."

In fact, dailykos.com got the ball rolling, DU contributed with research of its own showing strong evidence that the photo in question was of a Turkish city, then dkos scored a big goal by ID'ing the locale of the photo.
