To be honest, the Pajamahadeen do a much better job of vetting out stories than these so-called "news" organizations. You see, bloggers and FRee Republicans aren't looking for an entertainment angle to everything. We're not looking for shock value ot selling commercial time or ad space. We just want the truth, and we're willing to do the leg work to prove or disprove a story that comes out in the mass media.

So when FOX incessantly bangs the GONG with breaking news about some juror in the Jocko trial seeing a spider in the courtroom, the credibility factor just continues to decline. So we waste half an hour wringing hands over a supposed "bomb" on a "suspicious" plane flying somewhere in the vicinity of Rome, instead of letting the story unfold (they already knew it was being escorted to landing) and getting the facts and then reporting the complete story.

Otherwise, it's just hysteria. Everytime someone spills a packet of Sweet 'n' Lo on an airplane, the news agencies start freaking out like a "suspicious substance" on a contained airliner means anything to anyone NOT on said airliner. Not a single episode of "suspicious substances" has turned out to be something evil. So, the news media knows it can keep people tuned in. By using the effective "breaking news" mantra over and over and over...
