Clarity in Journalism.... ???

The headline...

KARL ROVE: After Bin Laden's Death, President Obama's Next


The actual title of the article...

KARL ROVE: After Bin Laden's Death, President Obama's Next Challenge Is to Explain That the War on Terror Is Still Far From Over

What a difference... You have to wonder if anyone pays any attention to the automated processes that parse all of the active content.

And they think corporal punishment would fix the literacy problem. Maybe they should start in house. Funny how their 'mistakes' always resemble talking points.

A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington , DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her
Inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'

The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...
So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'

The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:



U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS

AFRICAN IMMIGRANT

AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

I don't know about you all, but about 1/3 of the time when I see an Obama/Biden sticker I see it as Osama/Binladen

But that shouldn't worry anyone, about 100% of the time I read the signs for SCOTRUN as SCROTUM, going West on I-80

The Fox station shown in the clip is the local DC Faux station (channel 5).
