WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THE INTERNET to A.P. reporter Naoki Schwartz? Because this headline -- Blogger Threatens LA Campus Shooting -- is misleading. The site in question, JuicyCampus.com, is a chatboard, not a blog. It's almost as if somebody wanted to make bloggers look bad, though it's probably just the result of appalling ignorance.

UPDATE: Give 'em credit for swift corrections -- reader Anthony Sanchez emails to note that the headline has been changed to read "Student Threatens LA Campus Shooting." And a note at the end of the story points out: "This version CORRECTS description of Web site as chat board instead of blog."

Nice job.
