Actually, I don't even think anyone ever goes back and checks out the story. If it's "fun", then it's repeated by every news source. That's how news is today. I'm surprised people are actually surprised that people take Facebook "news" seriously. Like fake news on Facebook is any different than what our local morning news show we watch while getting ready for work are "real" news.

The anchors on the early Channel 5 LA Morning News certainly don't take what they read seriously. They mock theses "studies" on air and roll their eyes at whatever is on their TelePrompTer. Lol

normally, i'd be tempted to say something like shut the fuck up because this thread isn't about what *special* little old you thinks about studies and fake news and facebook so stay on topic you little thread-jacking should-be-on-the-road-already-far-from-here=ster and don't make me fucking report you to the moderators for being craptastically ego-ridden enough to come here with your teensy little pumpster out-of-your-pants-and-waving-it-around-in-the-air mentality.

The Pentagon was inundated with so many studies in 2010 that it commissioned a study to determined how much it cost to produce all those studies.

Now the Government Accountability Office has reviewed the Pentagon's study and concluded in a report this week that it's a flop.

The study of a study of studies began in 2010 when Defense Secretary Robert Gates complained that his department was "awash in taskings for reports and studies." He wanted to know how much they cost.

Two years later, the Pentagon review is still continuing, which prompted Congress to ask the GAO to look over the Pentagon's shoulder. What they found lacked military precision.

The GAO found only nine studies that had been scrutinized by the Pentagon review, but the military was unable to "readily retrieve documentation" for six of the reports.

The Department of Defense's "approach is not fully consistent with relevant cost estimating best practices and cost accounting standards," the GAO concluded. In fact, they often did not include items like manpower, the report found.

The Pentagon "partially concurs" with the GAO's report.

The cost of the study of the study of the studies was not available from the GAO.
