I can't believe you just called Cosmo "liberal media".

Let's face it: the truth about GLOs is never going to be a hit in the media because it won't sell. Nobody is going to buy a magazine with a cover story called "My Sisters Treated Me So Well, I Want My Daughter To Be One", so no consumer-driven magazine (as Cosmo clearly is) is going to publish it. People want to read about naked slumber parties, circle the fat, initiation rituals involving dead pelicans -- in short, total crap. In fact, all of these things are mere rumors that we've all heard one time or another (well, maybe not the dead pelican thing.) But there's a reason why rumors travel so quickly. People don't want to hear squeaky-clean stories about sorority girls raising money for breast cancer research. They want dirt.

I'm just sayin'.
