MySQL join query - Not unique table/alias

What could be wrong with this one? I am getting Error #1066 - Not unique table/alias: 'v'

SELECT v.newsid AS identifier, j.createdate AS DATE, j.newstext AS TEXT, j.uuid AS user, j.flags AS fcount, j.votes AS vcount, j.authornick AS nick 
FROM votes v 
INNER JOIN news v ON j.newsid = v.newsid GROUP BY v.newsid ORDER BY COUNT( v.newsid )

you cannot use the same table alias multiple times. You are associated v with votes and table news.

Change your query and alias references to something like

SELECT .....
FROM votes v 
INNER JOIN news n ON ....
               ^^^ <=== Change this to something else

I think the news table's alias should be "j". You have used "j.newsid = v.newsid" in join statement
