This is un-farking-believable. I have to ask the submitter and those supporting this headline: Are you really that stupid? Really? Or are you just playing dumb? I hate to go ad hominem, but Jesus Christ, have you people been asleep your entire lives?

I posted this in another thread but it applies here as well:

There seems to be this almost biological necessity for True Believers to invent this seperate, alternate universe where accepted media rules and trends don't apply. The best example of this in recent times is the Dick Cheney shotgun incident.

You had Right Wing pundits - people with decades of journalism experience - expressing shock and outrage that the Vice President of the United States shooting someone in the farking face with a shotgun garnered national media attention. They acted as if it was absolutely unheard of for something like this to happen.

Here's the deal: just because something happens that you might deem hurtful to your "cause", that doesn't mean it isn't newsworthy.

I mean, Jesus Christ, you would have thought that he crashed his car in the ocean, and left his young female companion in the car to drown to death as he staggered home, not to let the cops know until next morning as his handlers 'took care of everything,' ... or was a former KKK grand something or other who never apologized for his previous behavior and was the longest serving senator in the history of the government or something, with all this media attention he's getting ....

God, that's absolutely pathetic, T_G_O_T.

I'm placing you firmly in the True Believer/playing dumb camp.
