OT: Study Reveals Flaw in Black-Hole Theory

[aegisx]

I just don't understand the need, even if you agree that they all 'misrepresent'/skew the truth, to keep pushing that somehow Fox News is worse. that the company line?

As for black holes...

"Keeton, a member of Rutgers' department of physics and astronomy, said it couldn't happen. He told The Chronicle that a tiny black hole probably could suck up only a few atoms at a time.

Yet it might not go unnoticed. If a black hole as massive as an asteroid -- thousands of tons -- passes through a room, there would be a subtle gravitational tug. "

Can you give a reference to a case where any other major news network than Fox (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) tried to represent a politician caught in a scandal as belonging to a different party? And then refused to acknowledge the "mistake" when caught?

Can you give a reference to a case where any other major news network than Fox (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) made an unfounded claim that a major 'rising star' politician had some sort of radical (not even necessarily 'terrorist') training/indoctrination in his background? And then refused to acknowledge the "mistake" when caught?

On further reflection, this isn't the place for this

FNC did do a pseudo retraction, which should have been an apology for bad journalism.

What is interesting is the claim is based off of the Washington Times. It looks like the show that it occurred on it like a Good Morning America or something, I haven't seen it.
