Well, Honk my Hooter...

And we should have been as skeptical of the Washington Post report as Steve Doud was.

Knowing the Wa Po's agenda as we all do, we should be skeptical of everything they print.
I will give the writer props for admitting how they - in this case the Dallas Morning News- pick up what sounds like a good sounding story (that just happens to fit their agenda) and run with it, though.
 
Regardless of WaPo's intent, this is an excellent expose(fancy frenchy accent mark here), and I bookmarked it [EDIT: the link] and will share.

Call it "Social Media Incestuous-ness." It feeds its desires upon its own offspring.

Well, if I took any given edition of any given paper, and removed the wrong stuff and the slanted bias stuff and just left the non-propaganda-loaded FACTS...there wouldn't be very much stuff left. My home county, very rural, 8-page weekly paper would fare a bit better in this respect.

All that background over ONE statistic in ONE story. Imagine the whole story...the whole edition...the whole paper...all the time. These people have no relevance any more.

Let's call it what it is. I just call it bull shit!
 
"There are lies, damn lies, and statistics!"

It is indeed surprising to see some actual journalism being conducted instead of propaganda and rhetoric spewing to further a political agenda. ;)
