Need it in words of one syllable?

OK. In case you missed the discussion three months ago, when the evil Islamic (or was it Satanic?) plot to plunge Baby Cuddle and Coo into America's heart like the tubby little plastic stiletto she is was first revealed, the answer is "no." She does not say "Islam is the light." Nor does she say "Satan is king." She didn't do any of that stuff in October, and she doesn't do it now.

Yes, it's entirely possible that some of your readers think BC&C is the camel's nose in the hitherto inviolate tent of the Carolinas. They are stupid (having enabled comments on most of your routine news coverage, you should have noticed this already). You should tell them so, rather than encouraging them to be even stupider.

Isn't this getting a little embarrassing yet? No one in his/her/their right mind thought this was a story when a few right-wing loonies first floated it last fall. No one in his/her/their right mind gives it any credence now. Wow, some moron in your circulation area -- sorry, a part of a nearby state where you could sell a few newspapers, back in the days when you actually sought to provide regional news coverage -- falls for this babbling Chicken Little nonsense, and you're giving it space on your front page? What's the point of that exactly?

Secret coded messages have been a good way of separating the stupid from their money for many centuries now. In an era in which we desperately need to demonstrate that mass media are worth keeping around because they do stuff right, it's really hard to understand why any competent professionals would deliberately steer for the sort of near-criminal cluelessness invoked by the abovementioned tale. Honestly -- who are you trying to kid with this stuff?
