The easiest and most dangerous thing in the world is to attack the free press.

Our press is far from perfect, they are driven to report what sells and try to create news to be more spectacular to sell. They do this regardless of party.

I do however find the press, even with their faults our greatest defense against tyranny.

However, lately we find BOTH parties crying the media is unfair and biased on the other side. Perhaps, it is because the press actually TRIES to be as objective as possible and the truth hurts. They attacked Clinton just as feverishly and as hard as they have Bush. But because one side is so brainwashed to believe that any press not supported by the 700 Club and Bush's white House is evil, they refuse to remember how every station, magazine and news show went after sources to find ways to show Clinton's demise.

As for editorials, Op Eds, talking heads like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Springer, Moore and so on.... they are airing their opinions and should be looked at as that. If they want to claim their opinion as fact, then allow them to show the evidence. If not then it's opinion and they lied..... BFD.

I find it horrific that we continually deride the press and attack them for not supporting our views and because they do not support what we believe then obviously they are puppets for the other side.

Beware the press that tells you the Kool Aid you are drinking is your favorite flavor, Jim Jones clones may lurk in the shadows.

I prefer a press that tells me to check before I drink the Kool Aid because someone may have pissed in it. I believe that is what the press's job is.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
