Bob,

I hear you. The problem is, the evening news whether right, centrist or left leaning does exactly the same thing.

I get equally mad about the misinformation spread by talking heads on Fox News as I do listening to Amy Goodman & cohorts on Democracy Now on NPR.

So, to me, these sites/publications that basically poke fun at folks' willingness to believe anything put in front of them as long as it aligns with their pre-conceptions is refreshing.

Anyways, I really didn't want to go down that path - but I think that's why sites like the Onion and this Beaverton site exist.

I will edit my post so that people know it's a joke.
