MR Begs the Main Stream Media: Please Go Back to Lying to Us

So there's this war going on between the countries on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Most of the combatants are taking a couple of days off... not the Palestinians though - they're still trying to commit mass murder (incidentally, do you know how we find links to stories about Palestinian terrorist attempts? we type in "palestinian infiltration" to Google, and just like magic, there's always a new story to link to. Hbw sad is that?). Anyway, so most of the combatants in the Israeli-Arab conflict are taking a couple of days off, but no one really thinks the ceasefire is going to last. And in the meantime, there's a bunch of other interesting stuff - UN deployments, political maneuverings, etc
So what's on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC? The news that some idiot in Thailand may or may not have been arrested for the JonBenet Ramsey murder. A murder that we'll remind you, happened ten years ago! They actually have Wolf Blitzer reporting on the case from Jerusalem (where he was sent to report about that war thing) on one side of the screen, while on the other side of the screen they play footage of police entering the Ramseys' house... from ten years ago!
Unbelievable. We literally could not be more pissed off right now. We really think we like it better when these idiots try to lie to us. At least then, you can kind of sort of can make yourself believe that these people actually have brains. And that maybe there is some hope left - some future for humanity other than slow drowning in a swamp filled of vapidness and stupidity.

UPDATE: This post was obviously originally written in the kind of mental and physical state that would make it seem well-advised to post something like this. While we're going to keep it up here as a warning to ourselves and others about blogging while... er...angry, we have corrected the typos, misspellings, and at some points totally missed words.
