[EV_Ares]

the other night to great effect, and when it came time for "Gretchen and Steve" to acknowledge errors in recently aired stories, they ran an on-screen scroll of corrections that was actually several hundred items long, which rolled so fast that nobody watching could possibly read any of them in real time.

Here's the list. Great stuff.

~America is not currently under a “Level Nine Liberty Alert”. There is no such thing as a “Level Nine Liberty Alert”.
