Now there we agree. I was especially impressed with their extended
coverage and tremendous photos of Rush Limbaugh's meeting with the
aliens (space kind). They came down to try and get him to run for
President. The galaxy feared a Democrat would be elected. I don't
think they ever imagined Bush would be elected. I understand they
came back (unreported) and met with Al Franken to correct the
situation. Is the Weekly World News a subsidiary of FOX? If they were
Fair and Balanced they would have reported both meetings
unemotionally (with pictures).
I guess The Onion is the only reliable news source we have. The Daily
Show is a close second. The Colbert Report is gaining, though Real
Time with Bill Maher does often have a token Neo-Conservative on the
panel. He's usually the one in the stuffy blue suit and greased hair.
