      I had to look it up. And yes. It’s real.

      The actual story is there’s a plan to release grizzlies in a Washington forest to restore the population. The Fox News idiots heavily quoted a spokesman from the National Cattleman’s Beef Association (and several other obvious corporate stooges) with very little representation of the other side. They’re drumming up how the administration is “introducing” an apex predator to the area, carefully neglecting to mention that this was their natural habitat.

      I miss the Fairness Doctrine. I miss the time before the 24-hour news cycle. I miss when the person on TV had an obligation to at least pretend to try to give you the news without editorializing the hell put of it.
