The 2011 copyright date is the funniest part.

The problem with America in a nutshell.

Nope, just because it’s printed on paper doesn’t mean it’s actual journalism . . . false logic . . .(I’m looking at you Washington Post)

He must’ve found that in a bird cage. Which brings to mind, what do they line bird cages with these days?

I don’t care for my local paper, their far to bias. And I don’t mean politically bias either. They want to ignore the towns around the town their based in unless one of two things happens. Well, three things actually. One, something really bad happens in one of the other towns. And mind you someone dieing in a car crash, much less dieing at all, isn’t deemed really bad by this paper unless they die in the paper’s hometown. As long as the event makes a town look bad or involves a plane crash that someone died in (I did say dieing in a car crash isn’t bad enough for this paper to print it but I guess if a Federal agency is brought in then a crash that results in death is really bad for them) Two, someone from the paper’s hometown is involved in an event in one of the other towns. This includes dieing in a car crash. There’s been far too many times where I’ve heard of fatal car crashes in my town where the paper failed to report them but the papers in the next two states might report on them because of how close they are to my town. Yet if I see a report on a fatal car crash in any town in the region end up in the local paper then nine times out of ten the victim is from the paper’s hometown. Three, the major area news channel actually reports the event, in which case it miracoulously is important enough to appear in the paper the next day,even if that’s two or three days after the event.
