In the 24/7 cable news media cycles, mainstream channels are doing everything to attract viewers and beat their competitors. As a result, many non-stories are dressed up with dramatic music and flashy graphics to portray drama, fear and capture the attention of American viewers. On a regular basis, in breaking news situations, channels get the facts wrong and make bold connections with little or no evidence. Just last week, Fox News reported that a UFO was flying over NYC. Hours later, it turns out the mysterious object was in fact a balloon.

4. What?!

Does this mean that Bin Lyin' Low hasn't come back to life? Are they exaggerating when they say that he an his henchmen and Elvis are living in luxury in Pakistan?

Golly! Maybe NATO won't take the bait! Maybe the US government will look like even worse rats than Bin So Evil if they step up the drone attacks on that poor flooded country and kill more little children. Maybe everybody has grown a wee bit dubious about Bin Useful For A While.

I know I Bin Sick of It for ages!

How can anybody watch that crap?
