For Fox News, the theory is, if you repeat falsities enough they eventually becomes true. Unfortunately for them, pesky fact checkers don’t subscribe to the magical incantation method and so the Daily Kos compiled a video montage showing them consistently misreporting about the New England Journal of Medicine.

Shouldn’t there be some sort of rules for how long MSNBC’s correspondents can speculate wildly on every facet of a high speed chase without having any real information? Earlier, Contessa Brewer and Tamron Hall offered a play by play of a person driving fast down a LA freeway with cops in pursuit. Luckily it came to an end under a tunnel, totally killing their chance to drone on through the handcuffing.
The leftists over at the Daily Kos who hate America and are comparable to the KKK according to Bill O’Reilly, are claiming victory today as Fox News correspondent Chris Wallace used one their polls about Republican beliefs in an interview with Sarah Palin on Sunday. This is the same poll that O’Reilly billed as “a fraud” and Karl Rove said “falls flat on its face” just last week. |Daily Kos|
George Stephanopoulos feels really stupid for not following up Rudy Giuliani’s amnesic statement about 9/11, so he apologized: “All of you who have pointed out that I should have pressed him on that misstatement in the moment are right. My mistake, my responsibility.” |Media Coder|
Before you even think about visting a movie set and interacting with celebrities, you better read these invaluable tips and tricks that include: “Don’t chase, scream at, or harass the stars once you see them.” Noted. |OLV|
The “B-roll” that accompanies this Russia Today news report about the controversial how-to-shoot-heroin brochure that NYC’s health department issued is quite entertaining. Forget about the pamphlet, watch the footage of junkies shooting up, various drug stashes, and paramilitary troops swooping.
The Marijuana Policy Project calls bullshit on the AP and a researcher’s claim that “The increase of teens smoking pot is partly because the national debate over medical use of marijuana can make the drugs seem safer to teenagers.” |MPP|
On Sunday, CNN’s former technology reporter, Miles O’Brien, spoke to a group of 100 space enthused Twitterers—myself included—at the Kennedy Space Center as part of a two-day gathering hosted by NASA in anticipation of today’s launch of the space shuttle Atlantis. The self-described “Recovering Correspondent” discussed the dying role that his former employer and the mainstream media is playing in covering events like the space shuttle launch and basically said that they just send the news trucks in case things blow up or what he affectionately called “Deathwatch journalism.” Read more »
So Florida is mostly a boring place where old people go to die, so I guess I shouldn’t be all that surprised that some unfinished graffiti would make the local news there and actually prompt a reporter to file the following inane story. A vandal named SOLO evidently ran out of paint while spray painting a piece in Palm Bay and decided to make light of it, by writing just that on the wall: “ran out of purple.” No seriously. That’s the whole story. |Florida Today|
Hey you know what’s old and played out? Threesomes! They’re just so meh, there’s nothing scandalous and forbidden about them. I mean, everybody’s having threesomes, so they can’t be all that special anymore. They’re over-exposed. They’ve lost their edge. Your mom has probably even had a threesome. Threesomes are basically the Jonas Brothers of sex acts. Read more »
