News of the Weird Posted: 1 year ago by keroberos32
For some readers, News of the Weird is a light diversion from the serious reporting of the week. For others, though, it's a weekly chronicle of the alarming decline of civilization. Or a therapeutic personal benchmark (for reassurance that the problem is other people, not you). Or, for the few who actually wind up in News of the Weird, a monument to lives interestingly lived.
I hope it's not a dupe, I searched and could not find it

A list of stuff Fox News has/n't apologized for in this year's news.
*Disclaimer: I don't really support MediaMatters. I just happened upon this story, and I know the general "Fox News needs to stop making the news into fiction" story is in many places. This is just the first place I've seen a list of more than the most recent and egregious flaunting of media ethics (ie. Don't make stuff up).*
