This is actually the thing I'm most disgusted with. Things have become so partisan and politically motivated that we don't care what the facts are. The administration seems that it was trying to cut losses asap. Fox News seems that it was trying to pander to it's readership. Breitbart seems to just be in it for the money. The general population seems that it's fine being spoon fed it's information and that anything beyond that might just be too much work.
I was actually chuckling about the subject line earlier today since it's totally irrelevant now. That and the fact that Jerry B. posted another link which he couldn't back up at the time. You'd have thought he learned a lesson.
