rrman,
Thanks for the news clip.. Unfortunately, I'm not surprised, typical of the "way after the fact", the real truth comes out.. Just like this Kosovo crisis.. 5, 10,15 years down the line when nobody cares anymore, the truth will trickle out..
Along these lines, "in my quest for the truth", is the incestuous and INTIMATE relationship that exists between our government and the establishment news media.. Witness; Rubin/Amanpour, Greenspan/Mitchell ..come to mind immediately..
Once a "newsperson??" reaches this level of intimacy, their employer should fire them immediately to save objectivity and their own credibility..
Even some other news? people around DC are married to ach other. Cokie Roberts/Steve Roberts, Tim Rusert and a anchorperson.. Chris mathews and a anchor person, I believe. EVEN so called independent Imus is cozy wih all politicians..
The NEWS??? establishment and the government are just too cozy IMO... I imagine the hard driven, really inquisitive, newsperson with SELF-INTEGRITY is quickly squeezed out of IMPORTANT news conferences and is persona nongrata.. SOFTBALLS are just lobbed at these news confs.
Hell I imagine these popular message boards are now infiltrated with shills from the news establishment and/or government..
Just my thoughts, unfortunately...
Best wishes...Coug |
