Why spend energy coming up with new ideas when you can just copy someone's old ones?

Let's call this thread "Cyberpawz complains about things that happened thirty years ago."

It's Cybergate!

Pawzgate

Well in the First Gulf War, I remember at least one member of the press who incorrectly identified an infantry squad as a squadron.

Hmmm, let's see instead of 8 to 10 men, he was talking about over 400. Seems a reasonable mistake to me.

Squadron is either a cavalry designation or an Air Force unit designation (also include naval air and marine air, as well as army aviation. Same approximate unit).

What? Make up new news?

A lazy and incurious press serves many people's worldview.
Be careful what you wish for.

If the population was more informed, and more capable of understanding what is wrong with the world, and the US as a whole, we wouldn't be having the problems we are now. We wouldn't have grand standing like Sharpton, and the rest feeding off the people... corrupting the people, and destroying what they are attempting to say they are wanting.

The population of the US are mindless sheep that either won't or refuse to think for themselves. The news doesn't help at all, we as a people have become desensitized to atrocities, scams, and wrong doings.  We hear them, we roll our eyes, and look the other way, or blame everyone else but the people who should be blamed. The problem is that we don't do anything about it. We bitch, moan and complain, but to only the people who agree with you... and to those who can't make a difference. The sooner this country smartens up the better off it will be.

Politicians are notorious for this, look at the latest things they are saying.  "Bush is responsible for the gas hikes." The news is reporting it as facts, the problem is they don't take into account of China and India requiring more oil than they ever have. I've already done my study on where the money is going, yet everyone else wants to blame Bush because he is the easier target.

News as a whole is corrupt just as much, if not more so than the government, they aren't stupid, they just expect everyone else to be, so they can publish partisan garbage that everyone can read and eat up like candy, and not even for once question it. So far it seems to be working quite well.

Cliche's are useful when you have a public as apathetic and simple minded as we have here.
Just like with politicians, we get the news coverage we ask for and we like stupid and simple it seems.

I wish to be informed myself, the problem is that I can't seem to find one place that isn't biased one way or another, so I never get the true story... which I would rather have myself.

No, but journalists have been using names ending in -gate for political scandals for the past thirty years. It's not new.

Only if he posts some more to raise the insanity level.
This one's just kinda cute so far.
