Most with the name News in the heading are at least making a half ass-ed effort at informing. Names or catchy phrases like crossfire,factor,Air America, Hannity, Wolf, Savage, Rush,etc are merely entertaintment based on a news story.It is sort of like a a movie about a book. If you read the original book you can see the similarities but often "artistic license" is taken to the point where the two products are different as night and day.

Where the hell did that bird come from in Disney's Aladdin adaptation anyway?
