The New York Times has now covered the Kaloogian fake Baghdad story. I think we've now proven, beyond doubt, that the DailyKos community has extraordinary political power.

from the article:

Within hours, Mr. Kaloogian withdrew the picture, blamed an unnamed staff member for the blunder and apologized.
