Truthiness

The media wizards at CNN have done it again. Honestly, what the hell is this thing? Is every cable news viewer seven years old? If they're really going to insult the intelligence of the American public with this nonsense, then I think they should gung-ho this doo-dad. Use it for every political quote that flickers across their garish network. "And now let's go to our trusty Truth-O-Meter to find out if Attorney General Eric Holder really wants to make heroin street legal". By the way, what is this "Half True" business? Is this a three stage system? Or are there variable levels of truth I have yet to understand? Either they're embarking on some sort of philosophical revolution or their producers have the mental capacity of a damp towel.
P.S. I dare you to use "gung-ho" and "doo-dad" in the same sentence. Boom.
