Media Funnies

[Pistol Gripper]

I thought I'd start a new thread for those who think the media has turned into a bunch of buffoons.  I'll start with a headline:

Obama first president to use email.

I loved that one, wasn't it the democrats that sued President Bush for his email records numerous times ?

I think this is what you're thinking of:

Pretty sad to think that the executive department of the most advanced country in the world is using older technology than most of the people on this board.   

Although, come to think of it...it sounds a lot like MY office.

I got the headline from an article on Yahoo that I can't locate, but was able to find numerous ones today that use the same wording:

Obama keeps BlackBerry
January 23, 2009      Categories: World

WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama is keeping his cherished BlackBerry for personal use, becoming the first sitting US president to use email. 

I think it funny that they can make this stuff up and people buy it.

Might want to move this to jokes.


How about this one ?

Girls Basketball Team Wins 100-0, Seeks Forfeit.   http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,481854,00.html

No they don't want the other teams loss to go on the books as a forfeit, THEY want to forfeit to the losing team.

I thought in basketball you were supposed to make baskets, not make the other team feel all fuzzy.

I don't think there's anything I can add to this one:

Clinically Depressed Poodle Mauls Ex-French President

I posted this article up here just a minute ago, before I saw this topic.

Pretty much anything on CNN or MSNBC proves the media has lost it completely
