What do FACTS have to do with this? Mass media is in the ENTERTAINMENT business -- not the NEWS business.

Gizmag, i now come here first for tech news, and have abandoned several flashy tech websites, including FastCompany and Gizmodo, for the very reason mentioned. I value Gizmag\'s more in-depth, intelligent reporting, and especially the confidence i feel that what i read here is true. The other sites can keep their sassy wisecracks and 100 word articles. Most days, Gizmag is all i read re: new tech and light science. Which i read a lot. I\'m here almost every day. Yay, you!

Mark,
News media, in addition to entertainment, are also very involved in driving their political agenda (typically a very liberal one).

ok. Lets rephrase this. Worlds most expensive 14 car accident. Worlds costliest auto accident with the biggest number of super-expensive cars involved.
thats more correct

Is not the Journalists\' motto: \"Ne Bona Fabula Obstruatur Veritate\"

can we still call it the \"most expensive accident\" in a way that PER CAR involved, excluding injuries and deaths and insurance costs more than a usual 4 car pile-up. so most expensive pile-up per capita or something like that. thanks for throwing some water on the flames though, stuff can get out of hand to the point where a nothing event becomes news.

It\'s ironic that you reprimand the lemming-like \"journalists\", but then go on to quote Wikipedia, which is often criticized by academia as being unreliable. Don\'t get me wrong, many of the hacks writing news today simply spew the dribble du jour, and, in fact, I personally rely on Wikipedia for what I would consider to be facts, but if we\'re talking about irrefutable data, Wikipedia is not necessarily your most reliable resource. I\'m just sayin\'...
