Jesus. I agree with something hulderfolk has said. Should I feel dirty?
This is the problem with media in the United States, and beginning to be a problem in Canada as well. There is little truth in media and you can't trust what you have read. I've fallen for that more than a few times, trusting what a once trustworthy source says, only to find shoddy reporting didn't disclose enough or appropriate detail. The news outlets have become content providers. It's time for a return of the Mayflower and Fairness doctrines so we can reclaim the truth and the media can get back to being our mechanism to speak truth to power.
