Here's one major problem with our nation...

One of the biggest problems that the USA has is that millions of fools receive massive misinformation every day from just three sources, all owned by a despicable man called Rupert Murdoch. The latest examples:



Nothing in this story is true. The Post just made it all up. Admittedly, the press in general did a very poor job of covering the Boston Marathon bombings, but the Post set new standards for craven sensationalism, jingoism and incompetence.




































This was even worse, because it targeted two totally innocent young men, both of whom feared being lynched. One hunkered down in his house, the other turned himself in to the local police. Of course, neither had anything to do with the bombings.

Any other "news" organization would have apologized. Murdoch just offered lame excuses.

Note that the second image is of the actual front page of the Post newspaper, sold on the street. Note that the American flag is prominently displayed.

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
—Samuel Johnson, 1775
