Vince,

Without a source, we are left with a sort of "because I said so" statement. This is what you gave us and why you were questioned. You then posted that Michael's post was an even worse indictment on what was happening in the schools than what you had written. This was just not true as it had nothing to do with schools at all..

The reason Michael's post and URL is important is that it allowed people to further research and discover the gaps in the coverage of a potentially alarming story-- as it turned out his article was not at all complete and was biased. And this is why it has particular import to your story.

When one posts as you did, without a source, readers are left without any way to judge validity, any way to question facts. Your allegation may have been 100% accurate-- we just don't know. YOu have to expect doubt in such a circumstance.

Re- the media has an agenda-
It seems EVERYONE has an agenda. And I don't forget that for a minute.
