Layers And Layers Of Fact-Checkers
Oh, and Editors, don’t forget them! Yes, that’s what separates the Professional Media and those inaccurate pajama-clad barbarians.
Here’s a perfect example of the keen eye for factual detail that distinguishes REAL JOURNALISM from this wild peasant tripe:
MILWAUKEE (AP) – Mention Amazon to the incoming class of college freshmen and they are more likely to think of shopping than the South American river. PC doesn’t stand for political correctness and breaking up is a lot easier thanks to Facebook and text messaging.
These are among the 75 references on this year’s Beloit College Mindset List, a compilation intended to remind teachers that college freshmen born mostly in 1993 see the world in a much different way:
…The “yadda, yadda, yadda” generation that’s been quoting Seinfeld since they were old enough to talk also has always seen women serve as U.S. Supreme Court justices and command U.S. Navy ships.
…Still not feeling old? Consider this: Andre the Giant, River Phoenix and Frank Zappa all died before these students were born.
Let’s see…”mostly born in 1993″…
“always seen women serve as U.S. Supreme Court justices”
Sandra Day O’Connor was appointed in 1981.
“and command U.S. Navy ships.”
Lieutenant Commander Darlene Iskra took command in 1990.
“Andre the Giant, River Phoenix and Frank Zappa all died before these students were born.”
Andre the Giant died January 27th, 1993.
River Phoenix died October 31st, 1993.
Frank Zappa died December 4th, 1993.
Seriously, what exactly do these “professionals” do?

It is NOT your place to question these people. They have credentials. Thanks to this blog, they’re looking to link Andre the Giant, River Phoenix and Frank Zappa to Karl Rove.
Those who cannot do, teach.

Make “Stuff” Up.
Frank Zappa is DEAD?
Winston, I still have trouble dealing with that.
