No. Not really. Not at all, actually.

That's the fun thing about being the Fair 'n' Balanced Network! It doesn't matter if the stuff you say is true or not -- like, say, "record prices" in the example here. All that matters is that people go away with the right impression: it's bad, it's unbelievably bad, it's never been this bad, and it's going to get worse. And we all know who to blame for that, don't we?

One is almost tempted to ask: How's that zero-y tolerance-y thing working for ya?
