Default Next on Faux News: Hitler found not guilty of killing eskimos

Honestly, how can any reasonable person support this trash? From Roger Ailes, long-time GOP political operative and current headmaster of Fox News on down to "journalists" like Bret "I'll whore out my mike for any wing nut idea around" Hume, it's miserable stuff, a complete disgrace to american journalism.

What exactly is it about the American right nowadays that treats honesty in public discourse so poorly? Recall the level of discussion about the Iraq war...grown men attacking dissent with phrases like "cut and run". Can you imagine? That's something you'd expect to hear from 6th graders in a schoolyard. But hey, it sells at election time to that crucial, moronic 10 % of the electorate who buys that stuff.

Throw in an executive branch that lies and deceives at every turn, smothers the tools vital to keeping the citizenry and congress well-informed, and generally seems to regard citizens as so many pawns in endless political games, and you've got a great, disastrous trifecta.

Good thing Mencken is dead, he'd surely die a painful death laughing at this garbage and those who defend same...
