I guess the Komisar of Belarus didn’t get the happy beaver cull he wanted because yesterday he released again the story of the fisherman who was bitten while trying to take a photograph and subsequently bled to death. The exact same report with the exact same details came out last month. (Hence Bill Murray) I saw two reports of it yesterday and watched the blind media lemmings all run obediently off the cliff to report this story again this morning so there are literally thousands littering the Google etherwaves now. All emphasizing that the case happened because the population of beavers is growing and causing them to be more aggressive. And guess how many mention that this story was already reported and was in fact 6 weeks old? That’s right: Zero. Because I think if they space the rebroadcast well enough it will make people think that these attacks are happening over and over again inflicted by multiple beavers on multiple unsuspecting victims.
Anyanka get your gun?
At least one news report did contain two new details, assuming they’re not fabricated. One was a photo of the “horrifically mangled leg” in question and the other was this little gem:
As he tried to grab the animal, it bit him several times.
As he tried to GRAB it! Gosh, how could so many reports leave out that one little fact? He wasn’t trying to snap a photo. He was trying to have his picture taken WITH the animal. And we’re surprised?
Oh and one website offered this helpful GIF which, if nothing else, should round out the groundhog day video, because it IS one!
