[t-rex]

While enjoying my nice lunch of cashew chicken (a/k/a Jewish Valhalla...) at Chinese Tea Garden, I'm glancing at the television in the corner they have turned on to entertain patrons.

It was tuned to Fox News and the "reporter" was yammering on and on this and that about GM's woes, and while they're yapping, there are little snippets of data popping up at the bottom of the screen.

One of those snippets distinctly reported that GM workers earned $75 per hour.

Now those of us in the know are aware that's the total cost to GM, because of "legacy" costs, but the way it appeared on TV suggested to the average viewer that GM's employees earned that as salary.

And this wasn't the first piece of deliberate non-fact reporting I've seen since the crisis began.

I wasn't surprised to see utter lies coming from Fox, but I've been stunned by the utter lack of research those "reporting" have uncovered. Have any of them bothered to click on a website to check EPA numbers? Can any of them even name a single domestic product? I'm surprised that even the few reputable journalists out there report so sloppily.

I don't watch much TV, so there's probably exponentially more bad information or lack of indepth reporting on Detroit's continuing crisis.

So...

What are some of the more egrigious examples of bad reporting the rest of you have seen or heard lately?
