The internets change everything

Joe Lieberman runs an ad that shows the sun over a beach (islands in the background, birds wading in the water).

Critics say, that must be Joe’s sunset. (One critic said, where’s the Corona?)

Campaign manager says it’s a sunrise.

Blogger does research, shows it is stock footage from Getty Images taken at Santa Barbara, California (and so, obviously a sunset).

Bloggers wonder why Lieberman didn’t use images of Connecticut shoreline.

Moral of the story: When everyone can check your facts, check them yourself.
