We all bitch about the media, and the bias and the the lack of responsibility it shows...
but i decided to check CNN.com today for a quick update on the Bridge story... to discover a link, immediately under the main photo/headline, to THE ONION. Nowhere does it indicate that the onion is satire, or that most of the news is not true. All of us may know what the onion is, but i bet more than 50% of the people who go to CNN.com for news have no idea.
I know its not a huge deal, but you think that an organization that tries to be a "real" news source would not link to a fake news site without some sort of description letting people know that its a joke.

i'm completely and totally done with CNN. Both their station and web site treat the news like it is some kind of fake world they're covering. No, it's all real dumbasses. They really are embarrassing.
I'd actually rather watch Fox just for comedic purposes.
And those misguided, There was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides Claiming killing in Gods name
But God is nowhere,..... To be found, conveniently
What goes on?
The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
