I probably didn't make it clear enough that this was the most recent in a long series of similar selective quotes by ABC news for its few minutes of hourly radio news. When the unemployment rate dropped, the one quote was from a guy who had just lost a job. When a soldier was buried in a certain town, the one quote was from some relative who blamed Bush. There are other examples that don't come immediately to mind. I wish I had transcripts, but I don't.
Given the broad spectrum of opinions available on any occasion, why pick those unless either you have a political agenda or, as others have suggested, you are just plain attracted to the negative side of the news?
BTW, "Brothers in Arms" is one of my favorite albums. Knopfler is a god, peacenik or not.
