    These detestable zealots pretty obviously broke laws and they weren't the original targets of the investigation, which took place in Harris County in southern Texas and found pretty compelling evidence. The idea they were somehow railroaded is laughable.

    The Rick Perry appointee was OK with the grand jury's decision.

    Daleiden.

    "We were called upon to investigate allegations of criminal conduct by Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast," said Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson. "As I stated at the outset of this investigation, we must go where the evidence leads us. All the evidence uncovered in the course of this investigation was presented to the grand jury. I respect their decision on this difficult case."

    I wouldn't be so sure. Fox News has a lot of influence. What they say has a way of being accepted as the truth regardless of whether or not it's actually true.

    Despite the fact it's been proven that the large majority of statements on Faux Fascist Noise are complete bullshit.

    Fact Checker Finds 60% Of Fox News Statements To Either Be Mostly False Or A Lie

    Any statement of "fact" on the fascist foghorn should preemptively be presumed as bullshit unless independently proven true by multiple sources.

    Kind of wish I had time to listen to right wing radio today.

    Well, it's "she," and the Federalist fails to note that she is one of 300 prosecutors in that office. They do enough research to send all the "human beings" reading that tripe on the Federalist to her Linkein page.

    If you want to defend that type of "journalism" on a broad where many of us actually took classes on the proper way to be a journalist, then be my guest.

    I'm guessing if I were to ask my professors if I could pick and choose facts relevant to the story when writing a hard news story, they might have asked me to change my major. I'm also guessing if I asked them if I could include street addresses of people in my story, or the block they lived on, they would have frowned upon that as well. You seem to be cool with that, though. I'm not.

    Did the journalism teachers on our board get into the whole grammar and syntax thing?
