. . . at least more informed than FoxNews viewers.

Note to the rest of the media: If you are going to tell the country what FoxNews just "reported," then this is the right way to do it: by accentuating how ridiculous it is. Don't just tell us what they reported and leave it there, like it's no different than if Walter Cronkite had just reported it.

Of course, Walter Cronkite is dead and so is American journalism.
