Media - "Just the facts, ma'am" - NOT
We are very much at the mercy of the media.
They decide what to publish and what NOT to publish.
The "news" that IS published now includes "opinion".
The "opinion" can be that of the writer or the writer of the paycheck.
Either way, Jack Webb's "just the facts, ma'am", is long gone...
I found this news item at "The American Thinker". Thomas Lifson speculates why we haven't heard about it:
"Something between 200,000 and one million people took to the streets of Madrid (see photo) for a demonstration against appeasement of terrorists."
