Responsible Journalism, As Usual

The Republican Governors Association has started an ad campaign entitled "Remember November" in an effort to get American people energized about the upcoming election. Their first video aired April 23rd:


The wacko liberal media is comparing it to Guy Fawkes, a 17th century British terrorist that attempted to blow up Parliament while both Houses and King James were inside. Really? That's a bit of a stretch isn't it?

Check out Remember November's new video, a response to the coverage the first video got:

Act II from Republican Governors Association on Vimeo.


In the U.K., "Guy Fawkes Night", a celebration consisting of bonfires and fireworks and Fawkes being burned in effigy, takes place every November 5th to commerate the failure of Fawkes and his cohorts. Four hundred and five years later the British still celeberate his failure; I doubt the RGA titled their new campaign to bring to mind a failed terrorist!

I thought blogs were the realm of opinions and hyperbole and that news reports were for, well, reporting actual news.
