At the half, the score is Journalism 1, Stupidity 1

Journalism scored on this brilliant play by the Wichita Beagle:

This one might earn an honorable mention in the Darwin Awards, Wichita police say.

A 28-year-old man wanted to see whether his girlfriend's Walther .22 handgun was loaded, so he pulled the trigger -- and blew a hole in his left hand.

For some reason, Capt. Joe Dessenberger said, the man had placed his hand in front of the barrel as he pulled the trigger on Monday in east Wichita.

The man was treated at Wesley Medical Center.


Dude, that's the whole article.

But CBS scores in the opposition's goal (you will need to see the graphic to get it):

Professional journalistic standards are on display tonight at CBS News, where they don’t seem to know the difference between China and Japan.

Several readers have pointed out that not only is the flag wrong, but the shadow added by CBS is going in the wrong direction.

And that’s not all. This isn’t even the Earth’s moon. It’s Dione, one of the moons of Saturn.
