Literally every country.

According to research American tourists are some of the most well-mannered and likable tourists in the world, actually.

Dude outStovers Stover.

And proof that the research was at least attempting to be unbiased:

However, before you go off assuming the best in CNN and the worst in Fox, the writers at PunditFact urge a bit of caution:

The comparisons are interesting, but be cautious about using them to draw broad conclusions. We use our news judgment to pick the facts we’re going to check, so we certainly don’t fact-check everything. And we don’t fact-check the five network groups evenly. CBS, for instance, doesn’t have a cable network equivalent, so we haven’t fact-checked pundits and CBS personalities as much.

Welp

There's probably a good correlation between blatant falsities and good ratings. People want to see/hear their predetermined conclusion rather then being presented the facts then coming up with a conclusion.

The study just gives interesting details but I don't think this is anything new.

I was expecting CNN's false rating to be a lot lower.

It doesn't appear to specify how many statements were reviewed over how many period of days/weeks. That would have been helpful. It could have been July 14th 2014. Anyways, no argument with the studies in terms of what it set out to prove for that particular day. Was actually surprised about CNN.

Just read the latest Legacy comic- two force users together manage to push over a several-hundred-foot across dish. It's nice to have some more force feats from them ^^

(Though I am kinda disappointed how heavily the writer's relying on Imperial Knights rather than bringing in Jedi reinforcements too)

There's a latest legacy comic?

OMG! Luminara didn't die on Kashyykk in the new canon. She is alive.

What?!

With the Border, Russian, and Middle Eastern crises going on, Obama really seems to be in way over his head.

Don't forget about ISIS seizing vast chunks of Iraq for itself.

Forgot about that. I've always considered Obama to be very unintelligent but incredibly unqualified to be in the position he's in. I'm not saying a guy like Bush would have done better, but there comes a time when you have to take the reins and be more forceful.
