I know I really don't have time, but I was reading the news this morning... Ok, I admit it, and last night as well. There was a story about Serena and Capriati, and some controversy over their game in the Open. You know, women's tennis??

Anyway, the chair umpire overruled a call, and it was clearly wrong. The ball was in Capriati's court at least an inch, the line judge called it in, and the chair overruled the line. Serena had some words for the chair then.

My point is the way Google news chose to headline it, or the headline they chose to highlight I guess it is, cause Google doesn't actually write any of the news, they just gather it.

Open-Serena blasts umpire after dramatic defeat

This makes it sound like she goes after the ump when the game is over, and she makes a big scene after losing. This is not the case, and even admits that her playing wasn't good enough to win the match anyway regardless of that one point. Why is it the media can get away with shit like this? I guess they take 'freedom of the press' to mean 'freedom to slant'.

That reminds me. Someone posted the book put out by The Daily Show people. In audio format, that is. I listened to it while I was doing housework this weekend; making dinner, fixing the vacuum, mopping the floor, that sort of thing. It was abridged, but I listened anyway. This is one book I'd probably buy. I won't have a chance to read it for some time, but it is funny as shit. John Stewart blasts the media, he acts like he's going off in a tirade over the way media covers things today, it's pretty funny.
