(MCT) — A momentous Supreme Court decision collided with a breathless, speed-obsessed media culture Thursday, resulting in botched cable TV coverage of the ruling on President Barack Obama’s health care law, a boast by a wire service of beating the competition by mere seconds and an understandable round of public mockery over the entire spectacle.

CNN and Fox News mistakenly reported that the Affordable Care Act had been overturned by the high court before both quickly corrected themselves, albeit not quickly enough to ward off a round of derision.
