Ah, the Advantages of Objective Media

Over the past few weeks it seemed like Roger Ailes memo to George W. Bush was getting as much attention on CNN as the DC sniper’s tarot card did. As far as I’m concerned, all broadcast news is nothing but entertainment and should be treated as such, but CNN set out a clear standard of objectivity in its relentless reporting and criticism of Ailes’ memo.

So how come I wake up this morning and see this running across their news ticker,

Woman who wrote riot-inciting Miss World story resigns

So even CNN thinks the Nigerian riots were all the fault of some uppity woman reporter who didn’t know her place. Presumably we will soon see headlines like, “Woman dressed in high skirt and low-cut top gets raped.”

Maybe if they’d grow a spine down in Atlanta, they might be able to stop the ass kicking they’re receiving from Fox.

Animal Liberation Front Steals 128 Dogs from Italian Research Facility

Animal Liberation Front activists broke into an Italian dog-breeding center on November 24, 2002 and stole 128 beagles. The dogs were to be used for medical research according to police.

Police estimated about 10 people broke into the farm and stole the animals as well as spray painting animal rights slogans such as “Murderers” and “ALF will free all” at the facility.

Despite that last slogan, the ALF activists left behind the 800+ remaining dogs at the breeding center.
