Yes but what is at issue is a specific timeframe. Now even CNN is covering it as Iran has opened the floodgates for his own victory parade. But what's at issue is yestereday
As far as calling things a fact I did not, anywhere, speculate on the motive behind the tech blogosphere's actions. Only what they did (malign CNN unfairly) and the effect it had (to slam CNN while bolstering Twitter). The fact I referred to is the twisting of facts in reporting and that did in fact happen (and I linked several times to back myself up on that)
