Carnegie Mellon Study Enshrines TNOYF As Top Fake News Organization: CNN, AP, NY Times Shut Out

untitled-copy.jpgA recent study by the computer science department at Carnegie Mellon — using complex algorithms, water flow analysis, and a smidgen of eye of newt — determined the 100 blogs (that’s short for “weblogs”) that keep readers most up to date on current news.

The Nose On Your Face came in at #23.

That a fake news blog would make a list of the finest real news blogs says much about either the sobriety of the Carnegie Mellon study team, or the overall quality of news blogs. Regardless, we’re proud that the study solidifies what we have been saying for quite some time: TNOYF is the top fake news organization out there. To wit, none of our faux news competitors — not CNN, the Daily Kos, the AP, not even the New York Times – made the list. Nada. Zero. Zilch.

Recognition of this sort does not come often, and we are humbled. And amused. And just a bit vexed. Regardless, the sky is the limit now. To paraphrase the great Cuban-American realtor Tony Montana, “First you get the high ranking on a study from Carnegie Mellon that no one who is not from Carnegie Mellon can understand anyway, then you get the money, then you get the women.”

Look out ladies. Here we come.

    Wow..a wholehearted congratulations on this fine honor. I don’t mean to question the recognition but are you absolutely certain this accolade did not come from the world famous nudie dancer, Carnie Melons?

    Holy Crap, Jim Riely! you may be right! But if that’s the case, we should be #1, and all these other blogs have some ’splainin to do.

    The main-stream liberal left-wing news is like the horns of a steer a point here a point there and a lot of bull in between
