Go Rockies!

If anyone ever comes across Tulo-Whiskey in a store, please buy some for me. Or a Rocktober t-shirt. That's amazing.

this is a NEWS story?!?!?!?!?!?!

Read this:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,301168,00.html
If you can manage to finish the short article without vomiting, please try to defend it (with information, not opinions from your gut).

I've got some issues with this article and this schmuck...

First and foremost, it doesn't say "blog" anywhere. I don't see anywhere that it states the word "opinion." This is spun as news? I can't argue with this man's opinions, they're opinions. But I can argue with the Fox "News" story as any sort of news. I don't even see any facts whatsoever in it (although I guess it is a fact that Al Gore is nominated and Arafat and Carter both won one... You like how he grouped Arafat and Carter together?)

I guess the FCC can't say anything about it because it's a for-profit cable channel and Fox doesn't broadcast a national news program on their Fox affiliates, but if they did, wouldn't Fox be breaking some sorts of laws? Isn't the whole reason that the government allows channels to broadcast is because they serve some purpose for the greater good, which has been defined as broadcasting a news program. But JESUS CHRIST MAN! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS! Is there anything anyone can do about it? Can Al Gore sue for slander? Can Arafat? Can Carter? Can the Nobel committee? Can me as an offended citizen? Can someone punish them for lying to the country? Or is the punishment going to be for the whole country as our society continues to plummet deeper and deeper into the void of fact-based news?

What can be done to fix this? Is it possible? If they made it clear, or even mentioned, that the majority of the words being spewed from the morons who get paid handsomely to convince the country to elect politicians to fatten Rupert Murdoch's already over-stuffed pockets is not news but is rather opinions of individuals who's primary objective is money, fame, and power, then I'd be ok with it all. Truth in advertising should apply not only to toothpaste and automobiles, but should also apply to "news" channels and television programs.
