- And now, the fake news. Basically payola as applied to news programs. 'Cuz we all trusted those to be fair, accurate, and unbiased already. Includes offenders where many of you-all live: CBS 5 San Francisco (Ugh! I used to work in that building, at KLLC!), FOX 2 Albuquerque, WB 22 Raleigh, FOX 2 St Louis, ABC 11 Louisville, WB 2 Denver, WB 5 Los Angeles, ABC 9 Tucson, WB 9 Chicago, FOX 45 Baltimore, CBS 2 New York City, ABC 9 Syracuse, and many, many more. Note today is World Press Freedom Day. (via damnportlanders)
- Study Shows Americans Sicker Than English - ravenblack says "I told you so!" in 3... 2... (via tobyhush)
- The Jonestown Death Tape at the Internet Archive - audio recording made before/while 900 people drank the worst Kool-Aid ever. Those wacky San Franciscans! (via Warren Ellis)
- WSJ Takes Down Subscription Wall - until May 10. Excellent way to attract new subscribers... if you believe news wants to be walled up, anyway.
