At least this unsurprising little news bit isn't from HuffPo.
You'd think they'd be gloating over it..

And I think its a fake, or somebody is overcompensating.

The big prob with FOXnews is that it augments the anger of not so much the stupid as it does the thoughtless, the ones who want to perpetuate
primitive patriarchy.

...which can certainly be construed as deliberate stupidity.

Translation:
They skew the news to play on the fears of ignorant meep.

The frightened and angry dumb-meep stay tuned for more news on the latest threat to everything they hold dear.
Ratings go up.
Public officials get pressured to do something.
Dems typically say: "Calm the f#ck down. It's nothing. REALLY."
Repubs typically say: "SWEET JEEZUS!! I WILL DO SOMETHING TO END THIS!!"
Repubs get elected and immediately start repealing all the laws that keep the rich from screwing with the heads of the stupid for profit.

Rinse and repeat.

What news sources aren't skewed? I'd like to check those out.

As TV watchers are a self selected sample comprised primarily of the passive, dull, incarcerated or infirm, one should expect the aggregate IQ levels to be below the norm.
It is not surprising that those that try to learn what is going on in the world through TV are on the steep part of the lower half of the bell curve.
