Oh I just ITCH to be a guest on some Fox News program. When they say something like "Some say Obama is a Kenyan, a socialist, a Muslim..." (or whatever), I'll answer thusly...
Me: "Some say"? Who says? Direct quotes and attributions please!
Fox bod: [sputter sputter]
Me: You purport to be journalists here, don't you? [brief pause; possibly more sputtering] Because without direct quotes and attributions, "some say" [with air quotes] -- that isn't journalism. It's gossip.

Thanks for the comments on my previous post! It's nice to know some folks read it. If I ever figure out how to reply to them, I'll do so!

P.S. Yes I do have a touch of the OCD. Three degrees off, is it? I hadn't measured.
Hey Kos Bods! Straighten out that little orange curlicue please! ... They prolly didn't hear me. Sigh.
