Faux News - now you really pi**ed me off!

So the one time one time I give them a little credit and link to faux news , for some "fair and balanced" reporting, turns out the bastards didn’t even have the facts straight; as Daniel Rubin points out:

I read this and started steaming. Then a little voice started whispering somewhere in the back of my head, "ah, is this actually true?" Not according to Clear Channel.

The radio behemoth, which owns six Philly stations, issued a news release the other day in response to the Banned in the USA rumors.

It quotes airplay stats from Mediabse that show Clear Channel is playing more "Magic" songs than any other radio group in the country. It owns "only 8 percent" (it's words) of the radio station in the U.S. and in the first days after the record's release, it was responsible for 21 percent of the airplay those songs received.

I tried, I really tried to give them some credit for rational thought, but they couldn’t get it right.

*In the interest of full disclosure I have been forbidden to buy the new "Bruce" or "Fogerty" albums by my wife..........but I assure you that it has more to do with the fact that I am impossible to Christmas shop for. :)

I haven’t heard any word on whether they have started playing any of the awesome(so I have been told and from what songs I have heard) new Fogerty album yet (hey I listen to NPR), but with lyrics like these I bet not:

I Can't Take It No More
I Can't Take It No More
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I Can't Take It No More

You know you lied about the casualties
You know you lied about the WMD's
You know you lied about the detainees
All over this world

Stop talking about staying the course
You keep a-beating that old dead horse
You know you lied about how we went to war
I Can't Take It No More

I can't take it
I can't take it

I bet you never saw the old school yard
I bet you never saw the national guard
Your daddy wrote a check and there you are
Another fortunate son

I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I can't take it no more

I can't take it no more
I can't take it no more
I'm sick and tired of your dirty little war
I can't take it no more
