Yes, but it's not funny.

[mauve66]

true though, ever get a line of 50 people and start a story on one end and then listen to the "same" story when it gets to the other end???

[Brock Samson]

 "Funny"?..
no, it's not meant to be,.. it's a "facepalm" thing...

In my journalism class that was the first thing the teacher did was to tell three people a story with five facts of information, then, split us into three groups to share the story, then, we each had to write the story down and submit it    and each was then read aloud before the class... no two stories were alike.

The New York Times, cnn, msnbc, and cbs all come to mind and when you put them all together and then throw in a little of the Washington post that you have in your link you pretty well get the full circle.

more like a mound instead of a circle.  usually has some steam coming off of it and flies surrounding it.

It's about things that are blown up for the reason of excitement. Who remembers Y2K? Then Global Warming, now the Mayan Calendar...

[bakerhillpins]

Well its true cuz I read it in the internet and then CNN told me the same thing! 

[Brock Samson]

 One of the things that always puzzels me is that we have all these news organizations and what not,.. say for example five to ten news channels on T.V. some are on 24 hours round the clock.. yet the same ten stories seem to be covered by all of them with so little original content,.. The "news hole" as it's known, is so small already, and the stories 'The Powers that Be" don't want covered all get a tiny press release on the weekend and are covered up by Monday.
One really has to dig and dig deep on the internet and then use a massive amount of salt and common sense and still do tons more research to get anywhere even remotely near the truth. Folks without the time and or resources (for example the internet), really are lost and at the mercy of legions of marketing manipulators. 

[mikepmcs]

that's ok though... 2012 is right around the corner.

Now you know how we end up selecting the pool of wonderful leaders that we get to choose from ever few years. 

[Brock Samson]

 yeah, ain't that the truth... a retorical question... 

[TK73]

That was hilarious!!

I had to send the link to my stepdad, he was a typesetter at the Washington Post for years... retired 1982.

[Foreman72]

"Funny"?..
no, it's not meant to be,.. it's a "facepalm" thing... 

i thought the "what does this mean for obama?" was pretty funny...

well they say there is truth in every piece of humor...but i think the truth in this cartoon overshadows the humor ...

[MoparManJim]

Yep, a year and 5 months away

welp, i guess if enough folks repeat it, it becomes the truth, ain't THAT the truth?..

 'n While were on that subject, just for shits and giggles,.. lettuce discuss the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor...
         
               

[mauve66]

i haven't heard this one yet...........................

[Brock Samson]

  Oh, you know?..  the bit about it being a "Sneak Attack" 'n all that Baloney...  
It never was reconciled - how the Japanese codes were broken - all the flattops were out at sea - a Japanese Mini-sub was destroyed in the inner harbor - The waves of 300 Japanese planes were spotted on radar without alarm... Etc. Etc..
 And If you wanna go back much further, it can be argued the Japanese and Germans were pretty much goaded into WWII, by denial of fuel, markets, raw materials and various Europian and American legislated persecutions, particularly of the Japanese in Calif, in the '20s and '30s. Such as having their land, citizenship and businesses seized. Bet ya' didn't know that did you?..  
An objective overview would show the importance of Oil in these conflicts.
                      IN MY OPINION.

heard some of it but not the full story..............

also like the way the allies took land from the Palestinians and gave it to the Jews (Isreal) after WW2 and then everyone wonders why they have been at war for the last 60 years and Muslims hate westerners, besides all the history they had before that

Muslim vs. Jew has been going on since before we recorded history. "My imaginary friend is better than yours".

That being said, I do agree the U.N.s forced displacement of a bunch of suicidal fanatics from their holy land was a bad move.

HUH? Don't get that one at all. No one thought the Japanese would do what they did since there was no way back to the ship. We don't think in Kamakaze mind so the higher ups figured they were flying recon. Lots of he said, she said in the mix make it hard to define the issues.
