(Video from Japanese media)
You would think that Hannity and Limbaugh, with all the money they make, would feel a responsibility to make sure a story is true before they report it. If they were to come across a story, for example, that says thousands of Japanese women were conned into buying sheep that they thought were poodles, you'd think they would use their common sense and say, "Hmm, maybe I should double-check this story."
But not our boys. They just forged ahead and reported as a straight news story what a quick check with snopes.com would have told them was an urban legend. I guess they just couldn't pass up a chance to report how goofy all those foreigners are. I suppose it makes them feel better about themselves.
This, of course, comes on the heels of Hannity and other right-wingers reporting Sheryl Crow's obvious "one square" joke as a straight news story. Come on, guys. Stop being so damn lazy. Earn your money. Be professional. Is that too much to ask?
