WJZ is so far to the Left that much of their programing has to be taken with a grain of sand. They and their national Affiliate simply cannot be trusted.

Is it true that one has to be a Registered Democrat to work there?

hmmm…when so many in the blogosphere (and some very respected media critis) couldn’t see that LonelyGirl15 was “satire,” why get peeved at a little network that’s just trying to get a scoop? seriously. some big britches media critics can get it wrong, so can some lowly network out in the mididle of Baltimore. right now, everybody’s getting some things wrong some of the time. might we call this the Alice’s looking glass effect?

I’m not saying WJZ isn’t stupid for believing the post without even checking facts. It’s obviously fake.

I’m just saying that DatelineHollywood.com would have been better served picking a more recent event without the confusing parallels.

True, but did you read the story? And look at the photo?

The article wasn’t much of a satire. Ted Danson, who was dating Whoopi Goldberg at the the time, actually did blackface at her Friars Club roast.
