That doesn't matter. Didn't you hear that it's absolute chaos over here,
and the cops just randomly break into people's houses at any time of the
day and night.
People in the middle east have no sense of what it's like to live in true
terror. The cops in the US have cornered the market on that.

Well, the news is always unbiased. It's not like they're trying to sell
anything, or that sensationalism doesn't get people to watch. ;)

In about 5 states (including where I am). Oh, wait, medicinal is
available in more than 5.

Curiously, a lot of people seem to think that news has to be factually
accurate - by law or something. And that we have these "journalistic
freedom" laws to protect the public by allowing news media to bring
important matters to public attention.
But... er... last time I checked, the media can print absolutely
anything that will sell copies. In other words, MAKE MONEY. So... um...
am I being dense or something?

Well I doubt he's talking about the Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu.
Perhaps he meant the Yahtzee Croshaw book?
