All the News That’s Fit to Steal

FOX News with a funny accent.

The British House of Commons and the Met are investigating News of the World, which is owned by FOX News chief Rupert Murdoch, for hacking MPs mobile phones. This is the British equivalent of Bill O’Reilly sending someone to harass people while they’re walking down the street. (Guardian/New Yorker)
CIA Director Leon Panetta told Congress last month that some senior CIA officials had straight-up lied to Congress. Since lying is basically what the CIA does professionally, shouldn’t these officials get promoted, for job excellence? (MSNBC)
Here is a new criticism of Sonia Sotomayor: she is too detailed. Apparently it is better for the justice system if judges just breeze through shit, so they can get back to working on their golf game. (Washington Post)
The Mexican Army is accused of using torture in the War on Drugs. Um, maybe they did it because the cool kids (America) were doing it? (UPI)
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is suing the federal government over the Defense of Marriage Act, which they claim in unconstitutional. When will John Ensign and Mark Sanford step in to defend traditional marriage? (Boston Globe)
