a particular angle that sells news papers and shows? That's my point exactly! The papers and shows create angles which gain the largest audience. Any good salesman knows the technique, tell people what they want to hear and they will stick around for the sales pitch. The shows and papers create angles, poll the folks, take rating measurements, and then tweak the angles until they match the audience. Any story that has enough legs to go through several tweakings will be aimed square at the mainsteam big audience, and the competing shows will right there beside them (right after their commercial break). If at that point you think there is a conspiracy to slant the news, it is because your views did not represent a large enough audience to cater. TP
