Top cheerleader treats entire football squad to leg-spread

A couple years ago there was a rumour to that effect going round the local high school.

Apparently said rumour was kicked off by a "rival" who had an eye on one of the boys on that team, a boy who was smitten by that top cheerleader.

All of that is just typical teenage drama, but social media magnifies these petty wranglings into shit that becomes really important, certainly for those reading about it on Facebook, which, as much as I find it hard to believe, is where a whole lot of folks get their news.

And that should be truly frightening.

I don't mean to sound elitist here, but if you get your news from Facebook, you're a retard.

Shop around a little. All the news sites are bullshitting you one way or another. With a little time and a little experience, you'll gradually work your way to a place where you can, at least most of the time, tell the difference between the wheat and the chaff.

The difference between the Shit and the Shinola...

For those who get their news from Facebook, I suggest you fork out a few bucks per month to check out WSJ, NYT, and the WaPo.

Canadians should augment that with a daily perusal of the Globe and Mail, even though they're unlikely to find anything interesting there that didn't originate in the already mentioned titles.

Canada is, after all, first among the me-too nations.

While you're busy taking in the Empire's point of view, you should also take a peek at what's up at Sputnik, RT, AJE, Press TV, and the Jerusalem Post.

And there's plenty of once-prime English language journo's, even Pulitzer types, who have been blackballed from the mainstream and are basically glorified bloggers now, because, get this, they thought it was their job to speak truth to power!

So you'll find Chris Hedges at Truthdig.

Robert Parry founded Consortium News.

Seymour Hersh shows up on the fringes sometimes, but he's clearly not welcome in the MSM.

Spend enough time rooting around in the bowels of social media and those foreign news feeds, and you'll soon discover that errant cheerleaders are the least of our problems...

"Rash Israel lights Arab Spring powderkeg"

My goodness, that's a bit of insight you won't find anywhere in the English speaking world.

Except Australia.

What, they don't have an AIPAC to keep things in line?

Paul McGeogh's article in the Sydney Morning Herald is worth a look.

Pot-addled hillbilly blogger beats Reuters to the story by three months

Oh, lookee, Reuters has a scoop for you today. Seems those Saudis are funding the Syrian uprising!

Who knew?!

Oh, lookee, The View From Falling Downs had the same story on April 1, almost three months ago.

Obviously our world-wide network of intelligence operatives digs deeper and asks more probing questions than the twats at Thomson-Reuters.

So much for major media...
