- "Beijing
Newspaper Retreats, Apologizes for Capitol Gaffe:
After originally refusing, it retracts its report that U.S. Congress threatened
to leave its digs unless a modern replacement was built." The Beijing
Evening News explained that after ""our reporter in Washington checked
out [the story], he discovered that some of its contents were identical
to the Onion's joke article."" ... "Besides acknowledging its own lapse
in judgment, however, the paper also criticized the Onion, apparently still
not fully aware of the publication's mission as a purveyor of satire and
laughs." ... ""Some small American newspapers frequently fabricate offbeat
news to trick people into noticing them, with the aim of making money,"
the paper said. "This is what the Onion does."" -By

- "Satire
in US becomes news in China." ... "Yu Bin, the editor
in charge of international news, acknowledged yesterday that he had no
idea where the writer, Huang Ke, originally got the story. Yu said he would
tell Huang to ''be more careful next time.''" ... "But he adamantly ruled
out a correction and grew slightly obstreperous when pressed to comment
on the article's lack of truth." ... "''How do you know whether or not
we checked the source before we published the story?'' Yu demanded in a
phone interview. ''How can you prove it's not correct?''" -By
