The Fairness Doctrine dictates that for every dog video shown in this article, six cat videos must be broadcast.

Return to main story line here.

[This is part of a much larger interactive story that has everything: nerdy pseudo-tech flowcharts, connecting the dots on a scandalous tragedy (or is it a tragicalous scandal?) in the news, a critique of the mainstream media, a satiric look at white privilege, personal branding and listicles, even some stream of consciousness Easter Eggs! And who can say no to another dose of Talia Jane? It’s like a classic Jon Stewart Daily Show segment only the host is Michael Keaton as Bill Blazejowski from the movie Night Shift.]

And now for the cat videos…

(It’s a compilation, so it counts as five)
