To take the most recent example, no one is getting fired at Rolling Stone for its fraudulent article about a brutal gang rape at the University of Virginia. The fact-checkers who failed to raise sufficient concerns about the lack of corroborating evidence, the editors who removed crucial details that would have made the article's weaknesses clear, and the author who sought a sensational story to fit an agenda will all keep their jobs. "Fit an agenda" is the key phrase |

| #1 For the Left, their 'beliefs' trump truth. That's why they shove their 'religion' down other peoples' throats. They're impervious to their obvious hypocrisy because all is justified in the attainment and imposition of power. Lies on rape, lies on 'hands up don't shoot', lies about paying taxes there Mr. Reid. Remember the three practices of the Left - Thou shall covet Thou shall bear false witness Thou shall steal |
