We have a really awesome newspaper in Arizona called the Arizona Republic. They do such good reporting and they fact check everything before going to print.

“With Congress in recess until after Thanksgiving, Arizona lawmakers are hosting town-hall meetings to discuss health-care reform, the economy and more.” Read
Ummmm…
A quick two second visit to Senate.gov and House.gov clearly shows that Congress is still in session. Not to mention that the Senate is set to vote on the Health Care bill on Friday and that it’s been all over the news. The fact is, Congress doesn’t go on break for Thanksgiving until 11/23. Finding that information took me all of five seconds. WTF is wrong with newspapers today?
Oh, and one last thing… Kudos to Sen. McCain for visiting Arizona when he should be in Washington doing the job he was elected to do! Holy crap the Arizona delegation in both chambers have been real winners lately.

Wow that’s blatent. It seems like more and more mainstream news is just grabbing for what’s quick and gets attention rather than what’s legit and well thought out and true.
Seems like the knee-jerk reaction of a dying industry trying to hang on for dear life (particularly with print news).
