The promulgation of stories like "global warming" demonstrates how incredibly shallow their knowledge base actually is. Was it just last week that one of the top news stories was how having adipose gifted friends "makes" people fat?

I have learned that they have been engaged in this since back in the Vietnam days and have been slandering Israel since they had the nerve to not adopt the mantle of defeated victim in the wars after its creation. But the Iraq war has really taught me what modern journalism is all about. Their methods, their rationalizations, their mindsets have all been laid out in horrific displays. <BR/><BR/>I have to keep reminding myself to pity them since pity is a far more healthy emotion than hate but I can tell you this; if tomorrow, all the worst offenders were fired and all media institutions declared a new era of ethical codes and attempts at unbiased objective reporting and went for years with out being caught doing what they have been, I would still never trust the media as an institution again.Snake Oil Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365352742028282744noreply@blogger.com
