This is pretty wild...
So-Called Liberal Media strikes again. I screen-capped it in case the page gets disappeared.
Funny - before Michael Jackson or Martha Stewart were charged with anything, I don't remember any news organization calling off the hounds.
Anatomy: This looks like the original article - the lead sentence implies that Limbaugh was charged with doctor-shopping. A later edit of the story seems to clarify the point.

New York Times had the same item, listed in their little "breaking news" right sidebar column. By the time I got to it, hit the back button to find the story to be killed, then tried to find it again, it had indeed been "disappeared."
That being said, a "kill note" like this, from AP at least, is not all that uncommon. Mistakes creep into stories from the best of us, and it's d*mn hard to make sure the correction catches up with ALL the potential users of the original, erroneous, piece.
THAT being said, I do hope Mr. "Talent On Loan From God, Dope Obtained From Any Doctor Handy" is refraining from any comment on Dean's request to keep his gubernatorial records sealed. Heh heh heh. :)
PS, for the computer-ignorami among us, what exactly is a "screen cap" and how do you do it? Looks like a useful skill to have.

Man, that's like shooting a sparrow's eye flying...or some other less violent simile...call that "media savvy" for sure ...

I went back and found a couple of iterations of the story before it got killed.
As for screen-capping - if you have a PC, you can actually capture the screen you're viewing by holding down the 'alt' key and pressing the 'prent screen' key (mine says 'PrtSc', your mileage may vary).
It helps if you have a graphics program on your PC to edit or re-size the screen after it's captured.

also works for PCs.
There's a similar command for Macs. Used to be but that might be wrong.

oops.
Keyboard strokes are Ctrl + Prt Scr for PCs, and Apple Shift 4 for Macs.
