"Stats" is an interesting site that "monitors the media to expose the abuse of science and statistics before people are misled and public policy is distorted". Yesterday they featured Too Late for Katie?, wherein they give "props to the online community Metafilter for digging out and exposing yet another meth story that both the New York Times and an Al Roker Court TV special report botched."

cool--she's going to be horrible--pretending to be serious about real news, then flashing her legs, then giggling and simpering as usual i bet.

Back during Bush v. Gore, she once said to Gore in an interview, "When are you going to stop this?" and clearly didn't want any sort of vote-counting, and wanted Bush in--at that point i wrote her off.
