In the last week, we’ve had two clear cases of Fox misleading their viewers. But its far from rare that this is the case.

Seeds in Deco Beads
The clear beads have a combination of four o’ clock and sweet pea seeds. Both seem to have sprouted, and rather quickly. The green beads are filled with… candytuft, and they just started sprouting. I should probably filter some of the water out of that one. I’ve seen a few seeds drop to the bottom [...]

Aeroponics
Aeroponics is a system developed by Nasa to be used in space, as there is no soil involved at all. This is a small system, but from reviews its relatively noisy. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9863440&sourceid=1500000000000003260370&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=9863440 And there’s things like this: http://aeroponicsnmore.com/aeroponics-systems-c-3/rainforest-36-six-3-in-site-aeroponics-system-p-141 Apparently soil is becoming a thing of the past.

Obama Bows again! Fox/Righty Tizzy?
There was a big fuss from the right last time Obama bowed to a foreign leader. Apparently we have some that think America is so superior that we dare not pay heed to our allies customs.

Crazy Governer Perry
“This is an administration that I see punishing this state. I say it’s time for us to stand up. I say it’s time to make Tea Parties twice as big as what they were.” Rise up in populist retard anger as our president valiantly tries to clean up the mess handed to him. ThinkProgress.org has [...]
