i met my first journalist in rhode island in 1972 or so during gas shortage. the nightly news on local tv had none of my comments in his report. I expected it as he told me after camera shut down he didn't care what the truth was only the story. A great example is also 60 minutes how they cut and paste interviews. Most folks who tell a different story never get it presented, what you hear is what 60 minutes want's to present. Our national papers for the most part , feed us the same trash.. finally we have cable fox and the net to research out various subjects.

at some point blaming the media gets a little old with all the alternative news outlets out there. Doesn't FOX have one of the highest ratings? Its obvious old habits die hard with this blame the media excuse. I can say that as someone who thinks this whole "war on terror" was a sorry ass mistake of the grandest proportions, to me it seems like the news media supported this mess from the get go. Many liberals think that way. But you don't hear me blaming the media. I know the media is reacting to ratings and that alone.
