Re: '...just trying to get us to look at the whole picture...

Mike, you do any surfin around the war- related blogs? Here's a good place to start: michaelyon.blogspot.com

Tim Fowler posted this link on PfP yesterday. It is fascinating reading of events and situations that will never sell newspapers, so are never reported. Speaking of which, move down the Michael Yon blog to "Tuesday, May 24, 2005 And now, for the rest of the story. Mosul, Northern Iraq" and read the straight scoop about what and how the "news" becomes "news".

You sound like an intelligent sort....do you really believe the polls about what people think? In my 67 years, I have been polled once. The questions were obviously slanted and so vague that anybody from Rio Linda couldn't help but reinforce the drafter's bias. (Are you from Rio Linda?)

The 4th estate is an entrepreneurial business. They write what sells, especially if what they write reinforces their own bias. They could give a rip about the Country. In their opinion, the Country can take care of itself.

Thanks for listin'...jj
