Cyber-agitator Matt Drudge set off a minor media frenzy when he reported, incorrectly, that presidential aspirant Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) regularly paid Christophe salon stylist Isabelle Goetz $150 to cut his hair. The actual cost was half that figure, but a number of newshounds ran with the item anyway.
Since hair-cut reporting is the latest rage, we decided to call those who reported the story to find out if $75 hairdos were all that uncommon.
