Why no one should pay any attention to FOX News

It's not just the partisan blather, or the silly sounds & graphics, or the fact that Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes represent a true Axis of Evil. No, it's the utter banality

A couple of choice quotes:

"Fallujah is known to have the most number of mosques for its population in Iraq, a sign of its religious character."

"Some [Fallujah Sunni Muslims] subscribe to radical interpretations of Islam, finding behavior by American troops like raiding homes and detaining men in front of wives and children as deeply offensive."

Now that's some crackerjack journalism! I'm glad I'm not a radical Muslim! I know having foreign troops raiding my house and detaining me wouldn't be offensive at all.

Somewhere Benjamin Franklin is groaning.
