The Cable News Network (CNN), a few moments after 1pm ET today, reported that the Supreme Court of California ruled against the right of lesbian and gay couples to marry in the state.

Just one small problem: They didn't bother to read the whole ruling before reporting the story.

While the Court determined by a 4-3 vote that the City and County of San Francisco acted unlawfully by issuing 4,037 marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples, it ultimately issued a win for such couples in California, ruling that the existing domestic partnership law was insufficient, and that barring gay and lesbian couples from civil marriage was unconstitutional.

5. Yes they did - and within a few minutes

they corrected themselves, admitting they had gotten it wrong, offering maxima mea culpa, and being very careful after their initial error.

I'm not a huge fan of the MSM at the best of times, but good grief - I was watching when it happened and it was hardly earth-shattering.
