Don't hold your breath


In a familiar it's already too late attempt to demonstrate that the truth is putting on its pants now that the lie has circled the globe a few dozen times -- the Upshot writes that the "Ground Zero Mosque" is 'Holy Roman Empiresque' in its definition -- as it is not at Ground Zero, nor is it a Mosque. They interview several news organizations on their lazy phrasing. It also calls Pam Geller a "conservative" when it fact she is "a complete and utter right-wing nutcase and bigot".

However, there is one unintentional piece of dark comedy to finish the piece:

The Upshot has reached out to Fox News to see if it has specific policies and will update when we hear back.


Yeah, good luck with that. A policy of being lying, douchebags is custom and practice, as opposed to committed to writing.

I hate the term "Ground Zero."

The planes hit many, many floors above ground level.

Has anybody done an analysis of where people actually died? I bet hundreds of deaths were also far above the ground level.

Fox News (aka Strategic Republican Party & wing Nut Communications Central) has a strategy. Support Republicans. It's specific policies are 1) disrupt the democratic process, 2) attack all things democratic and Democatic, 3) undermine as much of the Constitution/Bill of Rights as possible, and 4) advance the Republicans and uber right-wingnut causes in order to escape accoutability and maximize profits.

Now, on with the update.

Hard to say, since the whole complex eventually ended up at ground level.
