It's easy to fool the left all of the time

I sent a note to my friend whose org is defending a couple goon's actions last week. The Yes Men pulled a prank that had all the left wing news orgs - ABC, NBC etc believing that the Chamber of Commerce was in support of Cap & Trade in order to defeat "climate change" AKA global warming, which is not true. Here is the parody site. The defense is that it is parody protected by the 1st Amendment. One thing for sure, it's easy to fool ABC, CNN, CBS and NBC, which reported this as true and persisted in doing so - even in the midst of a fake news conference. Here is the story in full.
