Despite their love of fearmongering, Fox News also flat out tries to cover up things that are actually happening if it is done by them, like Roger Ailes' sexual harassment of Fox News' woman employees.

And this even pre-dates Fox News. SNL from 1995: Old Glory Insurance

It seems like they're trying to map out utopia by building a fence around it to keep it out.

"Americans circa 2011" --> "Qaddafi doing genocide"

A new report by the British Parliament shows that the 2011 NATO war in Libya was based on an array of lies.

Less than a decade after "Iraq has WMDs." Now there are open-air slave markets in Libya and two of their dams just broke and killed thousands of people.

This is Canadians, IMO. It's like we've internalised bureaucracy. I work with volunteers, and I have never met board members more concerned with making rules to prevent things that no one is doing. "Yes. That would be a good rule, IF we were having problems with people doing that thing, but we're not right now, so let's table that until that problem actually arises." Such good imaginations.
