Wouldn't it be nice if every journalist who didn't know WTF they were
writing about had their creds yanked? Fidiots.

And one would think, that a Fox News journalist may be a bit more

Indeed, and I miss the days when journalists were neutral and

I rerally miss journalists who took the time to read their copy
before airtime so they didn't stumble over words, or stupid things like:

What I really miss is when on air news people were chosen for their
knowledge and ability instead of how good they looked on camera.
