Nice. I want my TV news subtitled with a slightly less flippant version of this. Bonus credit for also catching media training techniques and bad journalism.

Actually, I would probably subscribe for a channel that aggregates other reporting on significant topics and takes it apart for bullshitlessness in the execution.

From Idiocracy:

Female Reporter: It started off boring and slow with Not Sure trying to bullshit everyone with a bunch of smart talk: 'Blah blah blah. You gotta believe me!' That part of the trial sucked! But then the Chief J. just went off. He said, 'Man, whatever! The guy's guilty as shit! We all know that.' And he sentenced his a* to one night of rehabilitation.

I feel the sentiment can't be entirely wrong. But of course for the whole procedure to be sound, it's essential that the fact checking crew is better your average Joe.
