More Politics: My Head Has Gone 'Splodey

[akirlu]

A piece fact checking the bejeezus out of the Paul Ryan convention speech is not unusual. It's much the done thing, this news cycle. But finding it courtesy of FOX News, that's enough to warp a person's sense of reality like howdy. In fact, the criticism in this article will seem eerily familiar to anyone who read my last post:

...to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold.

FOX freaking News, people. [stumbles away, muttering...]

(Kudos to james_nicoll for spotting this one.

It's still news when a conservative (or a conservative news organization) says something sane. This is not true of all of them. Daily Kos list of Reporting failured.
