The L.A. Times gets punk'd by an inmate
Last week (or the week before), the L.A. Times ran an incredibly serious story that hinted at certain people being guilty of setting up Tupac Shakur to be mugged and shot.
Well, the L.A. Times caused an incredible stir in the hip-hop community based on false documents that were created by a New Jersey inmate.
How dumb can you be?
The funniest part about this is that the "FBI documents" appeared to be created on a type writer. The FBI stopped using type writers about 30 years ago. Brilliant!
I used to work for the Times and I have a lot of love for the staff there, but this is just crazy.
Here's a link to the smoking gun article that apparently outed the Times.
And here is the apology from the Times.
