== Dealing with political screamers == | |||
Some political screamers do indeed exist. For example, the [[Free Enterprise Fund Committee Commercial]]. It's important that when reporting on a political screamer, you do not write the article in a way which is biased to support one side over the other. You may indeed make jokes in the article still, but make sure they are not done in a way that would be partisan. | |||

You can still use it to help you out however. | |||
