Hijinxs at the National Press Club

I think that we have entered a new “silly season” in our media world. On Monday, an activist group called The Yes Men pawned themselves off as spokesmen for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and presented a reversal in the group’s position on climate change. In the middle of the presser, a real representative of the Chamber shows up and claims that the people at the podium are frauds.

Meanwhile, news agencies and wire services were duped for a moment, making for some confusing news people and amazing video. Here is the YouTube from people associated with the Yes Men group, so keep that in mind.

    Telling how easy it is to dupe a media that doesn’t actually fact check anything anymore. As long as someone said it, they run with it. Kinda makes it easy for Obama to “control” the media as his staffers are bragging about.

    Also “kinda” makes it easy for FOX and Rush to make things up, too. It goes both ways, CRANK.
