Thanks for your thoughtful reply. That is so true about the "stroking" and do you know why? There has been raging debate on the airwaves (TV and radio) about what emotions Obama has shown regarding the Gulf. Has he shown "rage" or has he shown "frustration" yada yada. Anybody who buys into that BS is part of the problem. It isn't what one says; it's what one DOES. In a debate, for instance, if one candidate doesn't wear a little American flag lapel pin, THAT will be the topic the next day. So they must ALL conform. The conformity is in what the press is allowed to run with in it's effort to have a 24/7 story. And WE are the reason they can do that (not you and me, but we Yanks). Those that give ratings to that kind of shoddy journalism nearly guarantee that the only kind of journalism we get is shoddy. In reality, we get very little real journalism nowadays. Bill Moyer reporter over a year ago how 90% of all investigative journalists in the US had been fired. The airwaves are largely for the promotion of the corporate viewpoint. Many stories that appear in the press are 'puff pieces' actually written and distributed to newspapers and magazines and TV stations. If it looks good and is "fit to print" then it lowers the cost of publication. And those things get published all the time. Stop watching national (and most regional news) as I have done, and one will stop getting bombarded with the corporate serving slant and the trivialization (or outright ignoring) of important or accurate information and the drumbeat of asinine and meaningless information that serves to wag the dog. People said a few years ago that the Internet would be the great equalizer. Since then, the elite have made out like bandits and there are really very, very few getting both sides of any story, if they are even aware the story exists at all.
