What just happened there?
So, Fox News dig up an old story about a scientist claiming to have found proof of alien life on a meteorite.
Gawker publish an excellent rebuttal, point out that the story is several years old, that the science behind it is faulty and quote a professor from the U of M who says:
"Did scientists discover bacteria in meteorites? No. No, no, no. No no no no no no no no. No, no. No... this work is garbage. I'm surprised anyone is granting it any credibility at all."
Two days later, Swedens #1 paper Aftonbladet runs it as their top story. Great journalism, guys.

I guess I shouldnt be surprised, but still - Fox News? Really? And you didn't check your sources at all?
Update: Björn Westerberg Naucler pointed out that Dagens Nyheter (Swedish equivalent of NYT) also decided to play and published their own version - based on the Fox.com article.
