    One wonders what ‘fake news’ is, in this day and age of corporate-news.

    Sensory overload. What I’ve noticed over the past few years, or maybe longer – ever since the proliferation of independent blogs – is that it doesn’t take much for a rumor or false story to get promoted up through the ranks by other, “more legitimate” sites not taking the time to fact-check stuff. MSM is like the Rotoworld of news gathering & reporting now.

    Very true. Seems like the MSM mostly bases their coverage off what appears on the Drudge Report.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Sprinkles are for winners.

    Ok but i heard Goff is the new Secretary of Defense,
    and Dick Cheney is getting his first start against Miami.

    Seriously, i love love love the internet,
    but I’m not sure what the hell its doing to us. So much…information.
