Don’t forget to read the comments, and the related story from the SlashNOT mailbag.

It says
“Don't forget to read the comments,[..]“
but unfortunately there are no comments.

Comments in the original “Google news accused of Bias” satirical story. Or, in your case, don't bother. You won't get it anyway.

Geez guys.. if your going to make up the news the least you can do is come up with your own idea. And make sure to back it up with some statistics or quotes from guys like Professor HG Weinerstein at the Institute for Media Bias Analysis. That or just blame the whole thing on some ultra-secret, needlessly complicated conspiracy theory.
In the meantime, good work SlashNot..
*still waiting for the artificial stupidity story to come true*
