When I wrote about Apple's ebook antitrust trial not long ago, some of the comments I received expressed incredulity that I could even contemplate an Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) loss. Didn't I realize that the government's case was a shambles? Had I even followed the trial? The daily coverage of the trial by Philip Elmer-Dewitt (PED) in money.cnn.com was held up to me as a model of accurate, insightful reporting.

Today (7/11/13) PED issued his mea culpa, after spending the evening reading through Judge Denise Cote's 160 page official Opinion & Order. He acknowledged that he had completely misread the state of the government's case, as well as Cote's attitude towards Apple. Although he admitted being mystified by anti-trust law, he nevertheless held out the hope to his readers that Cote's decision would be overturned on appeal, and of course, Apple will appeal.

It doesn't matter. CNN made up its mind.
