Fact x Importance = News: If Only the New York Times Were Real

Here's the front page of the "New York Times" handed out to commuters on Wednesday:

OK, OK, it's the work of "pranksters" --- the word used by the supposedly-authentic New York Times --- but can't I just hold on for a moment to "The Iraq War Ends" and "Nation Builds Sane Economy" as real?

After all, it's not like the supposedly-authentic New York Times hasn't dabbled in a bit of fake news. (I know, you're way ahead of me.) Which do you prefer: Wednesday's front page or the one by Judith Miller on the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Have you seen the fake Friedman piece? "To err is human, but to print, reprint, and re-reprint error-mad humans like me is a criminally moronic editorial policy."
