Instapundit noted this superb John Stossel column, apparently related to a recent TV show, relating the top 10 media myths of our times. Utterly gauranteed to annoy big chunks of our readership with things like:

Myth No. 9 — We Have Less Free Time Than We Used To

I talked with sociologist John Robinson of the University of Maryland, who's been trying to measure how much time we have for several decades. Since 1965, Robinson has had people keep time diaries, so he could calculate how much free time people really have.

I assumed that we've lost free time since 1965, but Robinson said that's not the case. Surprisingly, since 1965 we've gained almost an hour more free time every day.

Myth No. 5 — The Rich Don't Pay Their Fair Share of Taxes

But let's remember the facts: the top 1 percent of Americans — those who earn more than about $300,000 a year — pay 34 percent, more than a third of all income taxes, and the top 5 percent, those making over $125,000, pay more than half.

Myth No. 2 — We're Drowning in Garbage

The EPA says while some cities have to ship garbage out, overall landfill capacity is actually increasing. All around America, people are building bigger landfills. Some landfill owners are competing for our trash.

The yellow-dog peanut gallery has been surprisingly resistant to our trolls of late. Maybe we'll get a bite on this one...
