Rather than start by making a substantive post about a real issue, I think we ought to address how mindless our news coverage is from time to time.
So I'll feed in to it:
Apparently, Fox News, by way of British tabloid The Sun, felt it was important enough to discuss a new expedition to find the Loch Ness Monster. Unfortunately for Fox News, they failed to add one key fact to The Sun's story: The Loch Ness photographs were proven to be a hoax in 1994.
Running stories by tabloids is nothing new for Fox though: last November Fox News reported that an increasingly frustrated Barack Obama was sending 75,000 word ranting emails to his supporters. The source was none other than, you guessed it, The Onion. Fox News was smart enough to remove that story.
Apparently, no one at Fox knows how to "use the Google."
