Re: Fast n' Loose with Facts.
You know....sometimes I REALLY DO think an asteroid or some natural disaster to kill the majority of the population of the world would set some attitudes right in this world. Sick as it may seem, we are pretty apathetic and self-centered as a world population. A little humbling experience like global destruction on a massive scale would allow us a big fat attitude reset. Granted I'm gliding past middle age, and I feel more comfortable thinking about not being alive anymore to feel this pain we call living, but I feel confident an event like this would serve a greater purpose.
Back on topic......anyone who watches any news agency and believes whole heartedly what they say is absolute fact....well I just feel sorry for them., and I hope the asteroid hits them right in the head when it comes.Ranger10 liked this post

Fast n' Loose with Facts.
Until people start looking for truth in broadcasting and stop looking for someone to tell them what they want to hear, this crap with CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and all the rest will not stop. This is about dollars and cents, period. 30 - 50 years ago people would have never consumed the garbage the major news outlets feed today, because they expected and honored the truth. They had Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, we have Dan Rather and Matt Lauer. Hell, even the OP posted this in a slanted way, pointing at Fox and giving lip service to the rest.

Huh?
While FOX is the most egregious offender, they’re hardly alone in conducting “journalism” that plays fast and loose with the facts. And there’s no reason to expect that things will improve anytime soon. The problem is that our media is now driven by powerful economic incentives that render truth more or less irrelevant.
On second thought, I guess the data is slanted.
