Asteroid 1950 DA comes in second...
only to be out done by a hoax on National Geographic's Top Ten Online News Stories in 2002
Figuring there was a lot of misleading info on asteroid 1950 DA and we are talking about *online* stories I guess we shouldn't be too surprised.
Some cool discoveries this year,

PS, a toss-up on where to post this. It landed here (big rock).
