That quote above was the lead sentence from a purported hard news story on CNN.com Thursday (first link below) concerning how some lawmakers loyal to the tea party may oppose renewing the federal gas tax, "which is used to maintain our nations highways."This wasn't an editorial. It wasn't "news analysis." It wasn't something I found on dailykos or drudge. Rather, it was presented as a hard news story on CNN.com by someone named Steve Hargreaves.
And as hard news, it of course felt the need to weigh in with an opinion on the facts reported by warning you to get some new shock absorbers for all those unattended potholes that will surely be cropping up if the domestic terrorists get their way. (And don't call me Shirley).
You know, I sometimes wonder why I don't take my University of Missouri journalism degree and just toss it in the rubbish bin. It truly isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Not anymore, leastways. Today's "media" has seen to that.
On a brighter note, check out the hot ladies on GasPumpHotties.com (second link below), the source of the above pictures. That would be a much better use of your time than reading any of the propaganda and advocacy pieces masquerading as journalism on so-called "news" websites like CNN.com.
