Glad to see you are fact checking, Dawn, before posting controversial threads.

Really, what is controversial these days about Al Sharpton OR Michael Vick? Its only a matter of degree. It was actually reported as part of a Sport's news broadcast this morning so someone else didn't check their facts. I am actually glad that Sharpton didn't say that. He can't go much lower in my opinion than he is. And at least, I vindicated him for a false murder charge.

And I am sure you would confirm a MSNBC story before posting.

A quick Google News search led me to the fake blog site (just typed "al sharpton vick dolphins").

Try Google sometime, you'll like it.

Laugh all you want. It was orginally reported out of MSNBC. Here is the link with the retraction.

I'll see your and raise you

I was ribbing Dawn, thus the use of my smilies. She got it. I guess you didn't.

Also, I don't a local sports dude would really be in the same category of MSNBC or any other national news site.

ETA: I wouldn't want to be the MSNBC fact checker.

Dolphins with spears.... interesting. What about sharks with laser beams on their heads?

Now you're talking!!

I see your point now...MSNBC, and anyone else who couldn't easily see that that blog was an obvious hoax should hang their head in shame, especially in light of how Sharpton came out so strongly against dogfighting!

That's why I have a bit of a problem with all major news sources these days. When I first read the OP, it took me a minute to find the blog in question and after reading that it didn't take long to figure out the whole site was a hoax. What kind of fact checkers do the media use these days?

I'm not a fan of Sharpton, and he'll dig his own grave eventually I'm sure, but if you're going to write something inflammatory about the guy, make sure what you write is true. The little retraction isn't going to stop this rumor from being spread as fact.

I didn't entirely get it actually. Here is another site commenting on MSNBC's "situation". http://www.kxmb.com/getArticle.asp?ArticleId=155923
From an MSNBC article about Mike Vick’s legal woes:
But at the same time, Sharpton argued that the prosecution of Vick was overkill

?If the police caught Brett Favre (a white quarterback for the Green Bay Packers) running a dolphin-fighting ring out of his pool, where dolphins with spears attached to their foreheads fought each other, would they bust him? Of course not,? Sharpton wrote Tuesday on his personal blog

?They would get his autograph, commend him on his tightly spiraled forward passes, then bet on one of his dolphins.?
The problem is that Sharpton’s “personal blog” is really a clearly-marked parody site

In my pool we have sea bass with laser beams attached to their heads. Sea bass can be a fairly viscious fish. Sharks were not available and take up too much space.

I have fighting frogs. Now and then I let them rest but they are there for my entertainment so the rest breaks are necessarily short. You should see the little jackets that I sewed for them.

He's a jerk but I don't think he was ever convicted of anything like that. You may be thinking of Don King, the boxing promoter. They both have funny hair.

I think you are right. I still think he is a jerk though.

When I ask for sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads, I expect sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads!

True! But then again, it can be hard to parody someone who is a walking talking breathy parody in and of himself.

The thing that gave it away for me was the Brett Farve is from Louisianna, so clearly he would prefer Rooster Fighting (sorry the real term is censored) over dolphin jousting.

Now that is definately true!
