DoubleSpeak
Seems like everyone in the blogosphere today is giggling over Fox News' latest "let's-look-as-stupid-as-possible" gambit. Their briefing instructing the news programs to no longer make references to Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies when referencing his campaign "because it mocks the seriousness of it" is absurd, to be sure (my favorite so far was the picture of Arnold with the words "Running Man" below it)- after all, the man himself announced his candidacy on "The Tonight Show"- but it masks a far more absurd issue: the fact that Fox News is still given the standing of "News" at all. Anybody with half an ounce of sense should strip the channel of that word whenever they reference it, and instead call it what it what it is- "the Fox right-wing opinions channel".
