How the Virginia killer became Chinese

Beijing Newspeak explains how a Chicago columnist let us think for a while the Virginia killer was a Chinese. While the spokesperson of the ministry of foreign affairs already started to express his deepest regrets, the student appeared to be a South Korean.
I picked the first news up in reputable Dutch newspapers, who splashed it over their pages, unlike most US media who were more prudent. I thought I would do the readers of this weblog a service by not linking to the Dutch papers, but ended up at the Chicago-based rumors.

Update: Good summery at Shanghaiist too.
