CORRECTION: Sarah Palin has not signed on with Al Jazeera America wapo.st/V4pT2G

The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) February 12, 2013Heh. Obvious tweet is obvious — unless you’re “real journalist” Suzi Parker.
The Washington Post tweeted a correction this afternoon after the ever-dependable Twitterverse pointed out that Parker’s Palin Derangement Syndrome gums up the gears of her satire-detector.
Best tweet of the day. RT @washingtonpost

@washingtonpost @suziparker Better correction: Sorry our journalistic ethics are overshadowed by our hatred for Sarah Palin—

Here are a couple of handy translations of WaPo’s correction:
@washingtonpost CORRECTION: We were so gleeful over seeing another story bashing a Conservative that we didn't bother to fact check. Oops!—

CORRECTION: Blatantly obvious satire was indeed satire.—

The @SheThePeople tweet is still up, with no correction on that feed.

But WaPo deleted the evidence of an earlier tweet announcing Suzi Parker’s big scoop.

Sweet! Can we play against Suzi Parker? We hear she can’t see satire from her house.
Last word goes to Sarah Palin:
