27. thank you

Why don't journalists just ignore ignorant objections? When they report on specious outrages like this one they are just contributing to the dumbing of the population, or worse. They are so ready to lap up anything that is presented as "an issue" that they give credibility to swiftboaters, slanderers and other morons. Do some fact-checking for god's sake and report only on what proves to have substance.
