Mark Fiore: Insta-Scandal!

This is a busy weekend, and I don't have time to write much original stuff today. (Mark your calendar: Mary was relatively speechless on July 13!)

So I'm taking the day off and turning the soapbox over to political cartoonist extraordinare, Mark Fiore. In his newest short animation, Fiore takes an amusing yet astute look at how the media and blogosphere are so good at turning trivial, irrelevant, and generally inane or benign information into "hot news" and major political scandals, while ignoring the real news.

Check it out: Mark Fiore: Insta-Scandal!
