Article in WSJ condemning false API tweet ironically gets president's name wrong.

By JONATHAN CHENG, MIKE CHERNEY and JERRY DICOLO

A false tweet briefly sent financial markets veering on Tuesday, in the latest illustration of traders' sensitivity.

U.S. stocks and the dollar briefly plunged Tuesday afternoon and U.S. Treasury bonds and gold prices soared, after a tweet from the Associated Press's Twitter account claimed that there were two explosions in the White House and that President Barrack Obama had been injured.
Sucky journalists commenting on sucky journalists. I may be sucky, but at least I don't hold myself out to be something special.
