Crosseyed and Painless

For those of you who commented on my Fox News related blog entry, this one’s for you:

From The Week:
The Atlanta Progressive News fired Jonathan Springston for trying to be too objective in his reporting.  The editor was quoted saying that he was let go for clinging to “the notion that there was an objective reality that could be reported objectively.”

As Talking Heads said so succinctly:

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things.
