— Failing to state the obvious is a kind of bias, according to Thurman Faulk, who comments on the outrageous lawsuit brought by the families of illegal immigrants who died in the Arizona desert because the US government didn’t leave milk and cookies out for them:
In self-conscious attempt to be “objective”, news outlets run stories like this one without even a hint of an opinion. They don’t report it as being outrageous, silly, or preposterous, they simply state what transpired, while taking care to pose themselves as being “objective” by not saying anything about it.
I’ve got an idea – if they can sue us for not facilitating their unlawful acts, can’t we charge them with something too? How about “littering.”
Yes, that was mean.
Heh.
