WTF is with the media (now FOX) linking DU and "conspiracy theories"

[kuozzman]

Since I like to check and see how the corporate media is covering things, I've got FOX on and start hearing them talking about "conspiracy theories" about the tsunami running wild and they give several examples commonly heard in indonesia, like "it's God's punishment" or how some religious leader was told about it the day before by spirits, etc., etc., and in the back of my head, I get a suspicsion they're trying to make any potential election challengers (with their (conspiracy theories)look "crazy", as we approach the vote on the 6th and the next thing I know they've got the DU website of the full god damn screen!!! I was so awed that I didn't really even hear what they said, but they show yesterdays home page that said something like "the hell of South Asia" I think and then that article. I didn't read it. What the hell did it say???

Saddam had WMD? They better look in the mirror if they want to see Conspiracy Theorists.
