Funny Fake News: Weekly Standard Parody on CBS Despising Liberal Bias

The Media’s Mass Delusion and Dishonesty
It’s always sadly amusing to watch America’s media march as one - in one direction after another. To even the average observer, it would appear that they all receive the exact same issues to cover - and the exact same talking points with which to cover them.
