Porn and News Pair Producing Nothing
Fishbowl DC draws our attention to Karen Feld's admission that she was incorrect in "romantically linking" CNN producer Kathy Benz to porn producer Mark Kulkis. Most interesting is her excuse for getting it wrong:
We now believe we were the target of an Internet "spoofer" who used an email address that appeared to come from another news organization.
Though we suspect that Feld was hoodwinked by a fake email address (crafty!), the term "spoofer" usually applies ISP attacks, which suggests that Feld was deluged with gossip about Benz and Kulkis (hey, we remember July, too!). Benz is now suing the Examiner.

UPDATE after the jump.
A reader notes that we were too kind to Feld, who may be the wrongiest columnest this side of Slessandra Stanley. Check it, in this column alone:
•Larry Thomas to replace Sandra Day O'Connor!
•John Roberts a former partner at " Hogan and Hartzen "? Er...
•The president's barber, Zahira Zahir, "was thought to have contracted the Ebola virus" but no: "She is very ill with E. coli, a bacterial infection."
Now we know why we didn't get a job at a real newspaper: All that reporting!
