I see that CNN and MSNBC have lost half their viewers since the election and they still don't seem capable of telling a story straight. If you haven't seen the latest on their Syrian prisoner coverage, it's a hoot, as Mr Bovard would say. Turns out their prison story was not only fake, he turned out to be an Assad crony who tortured people. He'd just been locked up by a fellow corrupt official who wasn't getting his cut.
I'm always skeptical that the American people will wake up, but the more damage they do to their own names, the more I think their days could be numbered.
Why pay for fake news when you can go online and have someone fact check their BS stories for free? Even if you are paying to be told what you want to hear, it can hardly be worth it when you will be told in short order that you have egg on your face, that's if you dare repeat any of it as true.
People want something to yack about around the water cooler, they don't necessarily want to sound like retards for repeating bat shit crazy nonsense.
I just read that CNN "is looking into" how their story got so botched. That's come to be the cure, the answer for every screw-up everywhere - government, media, law enforcement, etc - they 'launch investigations, "appoint a committee to study the matter" blah blah yadda. Of course, no one ever sees/hears the results that always die a natural death due to time and disinterest.
I'm in Jersey and haven't seen any drones. I feel left out. Since I'm sure my Assigned Fedboi is spying on me on the interwbbies right now ... hey, Assigned Fedboi, when do I get to see the drones?
I wonder how widely that sentiment exists. Historians have written that when the "consent of the governed" is lost, the government and system it supports collapse, and the void must be filled. That's when the fun begins.

It is difficult to tell a crooked story straight.

Diversion writ large. And poorly.
But everyone else got drones!

I’d say, collectively, our trust in government is shot. And deservedly so…

I bought a case of nine-mil a little while ago, and my CCW is in-process…
