More stupidity from Fox
The weather guy on our local Fox station just said it would take 18 months for the oil leaking in the Gulf to fill up a local lake that is 900 acres.

He said 'It would take one and a half yearrrrs' and he really stretched out the 'yearrrrrrs'.

Like that makes the oil leak not such a bad thing.

Good grief. The bias just jumps off the screen some days.

1. I LOVE their tricks with language
When they discuss the amount being captured, they talk "gallons."
When they talk leaks, they use "barrels."
They make it seem that a substantial portion is being sucked up by BP, when the contrary is true. Fox is the worst when it comes to such gamesmanshit.
