One could do a little research here at ACWOS over the last year...and feel the burning shame (which, we all know..ain't gonna happen) or some folks can have the all common sense knowing...chuckle...whilst, enjoying the morning coffee.

Zimmer Broadcasting System....

Yellow media outlets like ABC and NBC need to be destroyed. CNN is little better.

The "media" or in this case the Guardian, reported what Scotland Yard ( i.e. the Cops ) said. Not an editorial about what the journos think happened. Since then there have been some opinion pieces that suggest involvement by other parties.

Similar coverage about Dr Kelly's "suicide" in that newspaper were reporting what the police said at the time, but later went on to question that same information.

Faux news are great. The epitome of balanced reporting...no wait they are not. They are the pinnacle of opinion based bias and spin.

The "examples" in that link are nothing more than quips about things that Faux news knows it's audience will clap their paws to. Barely hiding their pro right wing Christian agenda.

CNN are not much better, but tend to try a little harder.
