Let's give a "Truth Vigilante" shout-out to the Los Angeles Times' George Skelton, for his smack-down of popular talking points against state tax increases in California.

Not only does Skelton brings an arsenal of facts to battle, but he drops a few FCC-friendly expletives along the way, including a "baloney" and a "blarney."

Remember, vigilantes, the "L" word ("lie") is okay to use, too. But we understand if you feel like you need to warm up to it. Just remember, the Truth Vigilante posse's got your back.

H/T to Monica H. for the link. Have you seen a reporter calling out a source for lying? Send us the link and we'll name the writer a Truth Vigilante, too.
