From the BBC 22nd October 2009:
BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Primate fossil 'not an ancestor'
"The exceptionally well-preserved fossil primate known as "Ida" is not a missing link as some have claimed, according to an analysis in the journal Nature." - BBC News

"Sorry evolutionists: For all the big headlines and grand proclamations this "missing link" is another - if beautifully preserved - fraud, another in a long line of distinguished frauds." - from the abovementioned article.
The article (and other media coverage) seems to ignore the fact that a great many paleontologists were skeptical from the beginning of Ida's connection with our ancestral line.
As always, the fact that science is self-correcting will be viewed by the fundies as some sort of admission of guilt.
