NW: OT--thanks..it's the nature of the beast..and the bean counters..and with TV and sound bites we are not well informed, just feed more and more sensationalisum..but many times things are slanted ..and spins put on them.. I'm convinced comparing stories or so called news releases Reuters favors IBM and or dressers her up, while sort of picking on the compitition..it's the style of that so called tail end dressing, it's not even handed. And really bad when it's not factual.." spin" on the "effective delay" is not factual..at this time no delay is imposed on the time table by any one. When the spin implys something that is not factual..they sould be held accountable. They have a lost sense of values , with a pretence at them that as far as I'm concerned makes it even worse. They give us the message that is bad is good, and what is wrong is always excusable..this then permeates our whole system, while they wrap themselves up as our protecters and claim privledge because they are the press..like I wonder if these saintly high priest of the press could handel even one half of the digging into their own lives as they see fit to dig into the lives of others, some how they protect one another..a sort of gentlemans ageerment, amoung their brotherhood.
