Christopher, another URL for you: fair.org Now, to your specific points: 1. Business interests are neither liberal nor conservative. Money has no ideology. You gotta be kidding. (And I'm not even a Marxist.) 2. Nowhere do you answer the comment that all the sources quoted are from the generally recognized as liberal "side" and none from the grac side are quoted. I could not answer that comment unless I too had gone through the latest issue of Time with a fine-toothed comb. Spare me! Besides, you don't react to all of the points I raise. But then, I do not insist on a response. <g> 3. Almost all Time and Newsweek stories now carry bylines. You may indeed be right. I never read either magazine if I can help it. Too slick for me. But I am willing to bet that the writers still write with that same trademark homogenized Time-Newsweek style and using that same homogenized approach. 4. I would not say that the words "liberal" and "conservative" are entirely meaningless. They do become so, however, when you attempt to make them cover the whole range of opinion. Your scheme does not even allow for "moderate" (or "centrist"), the section of the spectrum in which most people's views probably lie. And as I have said before, I think such labels are particularly inapplicable to the area of foreign policy. And, as I have also said, repeatedly, I am tired of this subject. Can we give it a rest? Please. <g> Joan
