Song of the Post: Everything You Know Is Wrong by Weird Al Yankovic
Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
Important doesn’t matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong
Yesterday, Fox News came up with yet more proof that Barak Obama is the most evil man in the world:
Shocking! I think that’s pretty conclusive, don’t you?
I would have ignored it, but Fox put it in the subhead of the article. If you read the rest of the article, you don’t see anything more in the article about it. There’s no analysis of the ethics of how to speak about your abilities. There’s no mention of either of the two highest-ranking Christian luminaries–Pope Benedict XVI and Pat Robertson–saying anything about this comment.
It’s just a dig at Obama designed to subconsciously affect your opinion of the man. Fox News is about manipulation.
On the other hand the Obama team did screw up with the flight over New York for a photo op. I think Letterman said it best last night when he noted “This is the sort of screw-up we’d expect from the Bush administration.”
