The News is Lying to You.

It's been a while, I know. I've had some shit going on, and life has been a bitch as of late. Gaia has decided that TSAG and I are no longer welcome, and has mass-purged us as best it can. Do I think that Blogger's resident meat puppets have anything to do with this? No, I don't. Gaia may have an ineffective administration with no clue how to run a multi-million-dollar website, but I'm sure that administration understands the difference between meatpuppets and meatpuppets with money. Sadly, I do think that Hardons for Ignorance or Perverted Justice may have had something to do with this impetus. (Which reminds me. I've been thinking about this for a while. Does PeeJ even realize that their so-called justice is, in fact, perverted by their closed-minded beliefs?)

But that's neither here nor there. We wanted Gaia to acknowledge us, and make a decision. They did. We won.

In any case, I have some other things to talk about.

Apparently, Bill O'Reilly thinks that when people attack Condoleeza Rice, it's Rosie O'Donnell's fault, because clearly, she's a celebrity. Never mind the fact that she's a has-been, and most sane people that I know of can't stand her bullshit. She's still behind the 9-11 truthers. And apparently, if we don't arrest people who say things about the government that Bill doesn't like, then clearly, we'll have violence. Hmm. And here I thought George Orwell was kidding.

I really don't want to get into any more of that, because while I do think that most 9-11 truthers are patently insane, the government does have a bit of answering to do that they haven't done yet.

However, I've got another one to talk about. CNN apparently recently ran a show named "Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling", for which John Cena was interviewed. Now, WWE has two videos of that interview online: a 3-minute clip of the interview unedited, and the portion of the interview that was aired. Maybe it's just me, but when you edit someone's words to imply that they said something exactly opposite of what they actually said, isn't that slightly unethical?

And doesn't Bill O'Reilly work for the same media? Maybe not the same company, but surely this exploit shows that Fox News isn't the only media empire that isn't averse to lying.
