The Media - and the menhaden
If your sole source of information is the mainstream media, then you are surely NOT getting the FULL story on almost everything...
Lawrence Meyers has the story at BigJournalism.com:
"So, how difficult was it for me to round up the salient facts behind this story? Twenty minutes. Yet the mainstream media seems curiously inept at finding the facts in order to present – gasp! – both sides of the story. Are journalists really that lazy, or are they merely following the Eco-Friendly marching orders of their editors?"
