...it is so funny to watch those clips as they trip over each other in getting the details wrong...

I think I'll wait 'til the dust settles and read what we're allowed to read of the after-action report...

3. Critical thinking

Rachel uses it but seems like people are not learning her object lessons.

4. this smearing of details regularly happens..

I'm glad Maddow's team put this together because it's a great example of how different mainstream news sources regularly provide details that not only conflict with other news sources, but also how these mainstream sources do not attempt to even cite a source for these types of details, they merely assert them. Just reminds you that you have to regularly ask yourself with mainstream news, "wait, how could they possibly know this?" and you find that they often are posing speculation as information. It's pathetic. Common sense tell us it's better for someone to admit they do not know something than to pretend to know something that no one knows.

5. So 4-1000 navy seals waterboarded Osama's wife until she

revealed that he was standing behind her using her as a shield?

9. they put all these stories out there

and people can pick the story they want to believe.

Some people might like to think there were three helicopters, others might prefer four. Something for everyone.

12. It makes me wonder why channel 19 in Cleveland has Triv on all the time ...

he was spouting all the crap about how "the government is full of liars" ("govt." meaning the Obama administration; not his boy hero George W. Bush, whom he would lick the Santorum from ...)

and going on and on about how the "White House" released all this conflicting information (which Triv probably made up as he went along, lying to prove that "Obama" lied) ...

15. Is channel 19, "Action News?"

Yeah, I don't watch that.

Is "Triv," Mike Trivisano? They have him on the news? Holy crap. I'm glad I don't watch that.

I thought Ramona Robinson was bad when she announced the "terrorists" at Guantanamo Bay were "considered the most dangerous people on earth."

I wanted to throw the remote through the screen.

BTW, Hi neighbor!:hi:

16. was at my mother-in-law's ... she had it on yesterday ...

I find it troubling that Triv is on ... especially when the "African American" "reporter" on 19 is talking with a guy who regards her as "lazy" (the day after Obama was elected, Triv went on a rant about how it was due to the laziness of blacks, and the "buying of votes with welfare" of Democrats that Obama was elected ... out and out saying "most, not all, blacks are lazy".)

13. Too late for me.

I'm foaming at the mouth and arguing with people I don't even know about this exact issue, and it dawns on me that this angst and anger why I hadn't posted on DU in about a year (well, that and the off-broadway musical I had going at the time.)

News addiction isn't so healthy. I'll think I'll leave this place alone for a week.
