Is this important journalism? No way. Is it funny as shit? I think so.

    I remember in the 90s, when the compliant media was going along with a lot of hate radio, the snake handlers, and the black helicopter/Alex Jones/Bircher types that were all still hopping mad (and still are, if they are still kicking around) about not only Watergate (*), but also that Iran/Contra was getting a bit of coverage, too, and virtually everything, ever, was spun into a failed attempt to make a new scandal out of…Fostergate, Whitewatergate, Filegate, Travelgate, ChristmasOrnamentGate, ChinaGate, BrownGate, etc…

    (*) - Being discovered, that is.
