Typical Media Overreaction
The word (from a psychic) came out that authorities would find up to 35 bodies in a “mass grave” in Texas, and the media went after it with abandon. Much money was spent hunting for them in overtime and equipment. Then word came out that there may not have been as many bodies as previously thought. But the search (and the spending of massive amounts of money) continued, until cadaver dogs found NO EVIDENCE of any bodies. “We’ve found more than 30 bodies! Oh, never mind.” The media predictably ran with it, and made a “big story” out of it, until, like a wet firecracker, it fizzled. But did the media apologize? Not a chance. They didn’t even want to report the mistake, but after Fox carried a story about it, they all were FORCED to report it. What was it that liberals said about Fox? It’s not a REAL news source? I guess it is, after all. (Fox News)
