This is old news. They also apparently disavowed their story on
"Communists for Kerry", which was also made up and similarly slipped
through their hiqh quality editing process.
All I can say is that there is a crude analogy between not using
Windows and not watching TV: if you don't watch TV, you are immune to
some (but not all) viruses of disinformation. Now, do I really think
the author in question here meant to fool people for real? No, I
don't. But if an editor in your organization okays something like
this, it's presumably because he or she can't tell the difference
between bold fabrication and the stuff they usually run.
Well, gotta run.
