You're right Gruss, people don't understand what the press is for....as demonstrated by your paragraph above :) Why is the reporting of "good" news entertainment, while the reporting of "bad" news is "real reporting" ??? The truth is what the truth is. Reporting should get to that truth, report it, then let the people decide whether it is "good" or "bad". Why is it the press' job to report "why they're mistaken" ??? Wouldn't it be the presses job to report the truth about their stance, the consequences that surrounded it, then let the people decide whether they think that is mistaken or not? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:149812 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
