This is a bit rich
Apparently the Seattle Times and the Associated Press are getting hot under the collar about a fake webpage the FBI set up to nab a bomb threat suspect. Seems they didn't like the Feds taking their name in vain, and to some degree I agree.
However, this snippet leapt out of the page and had me almost catatonic with laughter. I've highlighted the funny parts.

Somebody needs to look more closely at who is signing their paychecks.

I've read the Times often while visiting Washington. A more Liberal, biased, one way newspaper is hard to find.Just read their Editorial Page sometime.

I can think of several news reporters or broadcasters (that have since passed away) that are turning over in their graves after that remark.
Someone should send them a new dictionary...One that has the words integrity and bipartisanship in it. You don't put a fox in charge of the hen house.
