CBS News does a piece of “investigative journalism.”

The topic: whether gas stations are ripping off their customers.

This CBS News investigation started with a simple question: When you fill up, are you getting every drop of gas you pay for?

So where does this crack investigative powerhouse go next?

I know what you’re thinking.

They go out to some gas stations! Pump a gallon of gas! Discover it’s actually only 126.5 ounces! Thank you, CBS, for exposing those weaselly crooks!!!

Hah! Dream on! That’s not what they do at all!

Oh no! Instead, they inform us that states don’t inspect gas stations very often. And Congress — gasp — doesn’t do ANYTHING at ALL.

What a crock.

Our intelligensia have been so dumbed down by their socialist indoctrination that they don’t even bother with whether there’s been a crime committed.

We all know business people are crooked, after all!

So why bother with the preliminaries?

Just go straight to whether the government is “doing enough.”

Idiots.
