L.A. Times Falls for 'Federal Dog' Quote,HUGE LOL!

NY Times,LA Times, No matter:))))))))))

A quote in a fake news release that was intended as an April Fool's joke ended up in a front-page story in the Los Angeles Times.

The story in Tuesday's editions of the Times noted how successful the reintroduction of wolves had been 10 years ago, but said the predators remained controversial.

"In Wyoming, for example, Gov. Dave Freudenthal last April decreed that the Endangered Species Act is no longer in force and that the state 'now considers the wolf as a federal dog,' unworthy of protection," the story read.

The Times printed a correction Wednesday, acknowledging that the news release was a hoax.
