I would like to know many people’s opinions… The question was addressed to Len, but this is an open forum, everyone is welcome. I think what you describe – like it or not – is an argument FOR the mainstream media. They end up confused and confusing, but mostly because they are taught and expected to be ‘objective’. I think every little – or big – editor has a little Colin Powell’s State Department inside his head, trying to be evenhanded. But at least they try. They are run by people who are brought up and also trained to be balanced and objective. They are peer reviewed, as it were. They are not perfect. They are the Fourth Estate. The very many “underground” (like if anyone hounds them…) Web sites account to no one, except some of them, apparently, to the dark money that sponsors them. If ever caught in a lie, they will simply scream louder, claiming that their indictor is either brainwashed, or part of a global conspiracy of some sort or another. (Jews in high places are their favorite culprits, very often).
