Can we continue the fake news spotting? I'm watching Channel 4 NBC News this morning, and they just had a glaringly planted story about how Wendy's restaurants are "taking new initiatives" to... um... sell lots more delicious food! Wait... is this news or an advertisement?
Well, try this to liven up fake news reports: as soon as you spot one, go immediately to the fake news subject's corporate web site and see if you can spot the press release which was faxed to the newsroom and gratefully accepted by the lazy, advertiser-friendly writers.
And, indeed, here it is, released just yesterday. I've done this before, and it's always fun.
Oops! Gotta go! There's a "news story" I want to watch about the Super Bowl commercials!

Without corporate and government press releases, many news organizations would be left without a thing to report.
You are a very industrious equine to get your sparkly hooves on this disturbing trend.
SP I must disagree. The addition of breakfast to the ever growing menu of gruel that they serve is one of the most important stories of this news cycle. I can't tell you how excited I am to have one more mediocre simulated egg sandwich choice.
Hopefully Wendys will find a way to top the McGriddle, because it took a genius to figure out how to get the entire big breakfast into you hand. How did the inventor of the "bacon, egg, and pancake sandwich" NOT win the nobel prize?
I think it's fitting that the networks report those REALLY important stories instead of the slippery stonewalling that occurred at the Albertohearings. Don't you?
dear princess,
I'm just writing to say that my mom was much pleased with the 60's falshback facial exercise recordings. It reminded her of when she used to put on her mom's Holiday Magic makeup which she remembers as being delightfully thick and pink -- and although you've provided clips for all the excersises, she points out that the strawberry frappe cleanser/cream is no longer available, and laments this. So, while pleased, my mom is slightly disapointed in not being able to replicate the whole exersise regime.
Wow, now those are magic memories... Holiday Magic™ memories!
Test breakfast? TEST BREAKFAST???!?1!
Before 1985 Wendy's had an absolutely awesome Egg and Cheese on buttered Toast sandwich for 99 CENTS. And it was a real freshly fried egg flipped with a spatula, not those machined die-cut Feggs (fake eggs) that are served at McBlasphemy, Inc. and their ilk these days. It was the perfect start of a work day and you could get it at their drive-thru window at 6 AM in the morning.
But sometime in 1985 they stopped serving breakfast. It was the saddest day in fast food ever.
No need for testing, Wendy's! Just bring REAL FOOD back to the breakfast sandwich concept and you will win!
I for one applaud MSM and their brave coverage of Wendy's renewed committment to deliciousness. Ignoring the good news coming out of the convenience food industry while relentlessly harping on the bad news only serves to give comfort to the enemies of Freedom.
