Every business jet is a LearJet.
Every Russian aircraft is a MiG.
Every semi-truck is a Mack Truck.
Everybody working with/for the CIA is an Agent.
Everything at an airport that isn't an airplane or runway is called Tarmac.

When the press describes something you know about you see how ridiculous and clueless they are. When they describe something you know nothing about their story seems reasonable.

Ah yes, the Piers Morgan Guide to Super-Scary Firearms. (The only actual Glock is pictured on the "AR-15" side, but former scandal-sheet "journalist" Piers would never realize that).

I want an AR-15 SHOTGUN like Anderson Cooper promised me that the Navy Yard shooter was using.

If I can't believe a tea-bagging queen from the Airport Network, who can I believe?
