Kind of astonishing, but then again, not entirely.
The Sapulpa Daily Herald (Oklahoma) is being protested for not reporting that Barack Obama won the presidency. The paper did report that John McCain had won the most votes in the county. Upset residents say that the paper's selective reporting of news is racism.

Lamest Excuse of the Year Award:
"I'm sure they read about it (the election) and watched it on T.V.; or got on the Internet and followed it as many people did and knew complete coverage before we were gonna go to press."
Gee, what if all newspapers took that tack?
