How could anyone be stupid enough to believe the info posted on a site with photos that a 5 year old could tell were bs? Might as well get your news from the National Enquirer :rolleyes:

Ya, kinda what I thought. Maybe that's why the Enquirer is still in business. Americans are as stupid as the world thinks. :(

Quick question Kachina26. Do you believe the Central Banks of the World have your/my best interests at heart?

I'm not sure what that has to do with my original question, but off the cuff I would say no. See Blown, that's how you answer a direct question even if it has nothing to do with the original post!

Time magazine had 2 different covers for the same issue depending on the specific results of a certain trial. I don't think I have to believe everything I read or see.
For me, I would rather read something and decide it is crap then to not have any option of information sources to begin with. In almost any "news article" there is at least one idea that could be key to furthering ones quest for knowledge on the situation.
I was just trying to point out an opinion that all of the information on that site might not be as rediculous as the images you posted. I do agree that those images pose a poor representation of facts if any. I honestly can't remember any news source that has been 100% correct in all instances. I really think most news sources are bombarding us with opinions mixed in with facts that result in poor reporting.
I notice myself every so often reading a damn blog and forgetting it is just an opinion dressed up to almost look like reporting of news, via a well placed link. Unfortunatly we are stuck in the position as fact checkers in almost all forms of modern news media. More so for some then others.
