I've pretty much stopped watching news altogether.

TV was always targeted to the lowest common denominator. Somehow, that number got a lot lower in the last few years.

Sadly, for most, TV watching is the majority of the "education" they are likely ever to receive (no one reads anything with more than 5 lines, or anything that contains polysyllabic words anymore).

We're raising a generation of fucking retards, who will allow us to be lead like cattle, as they sit transfixed watching the TV.
Your post was way too long for me to read, but I think I might agree with it.

Did the media outsource its spell-checking or something?

Last year, the administration announced it was ramping up the use of full-body scanning and pat-downs
Oh yeah, body scanners, real effective. I've flown about 20 times since they installed body-scanners, and have never been asked to go through one.

The goal is to head off attacks such as the one allegedly attempted in Christmas 2009 by Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, who allegedly had a bomb sewn into his underwear on a flight from the Netherlands to Michigan.
Key word ALLEGEDLY. Wouldn't doubt it was a false flag operation, conducted by either a government agency or the company that manufactures body scanners
