But thats another thing. These satire sites make for good fact checking practices. As Nicole Wallace said last week about the reflecting pool crap, "I can't believe I'm having to report on this type of bullshit because thats what it is, bullshit. Every hour it's just more BS. We're literally writing the show as it airs anymore because this regime (yes she used the word regime) is spewing so much corrupt BS by the minute you can't keep up..". I paraphrase but that was just about word for word. Her frustration was at a boiling point, as are all of ours.
