Reporting Every Rumor Is Not Reporting Truth

Mark Eby — 3/4/2004 5:24:40 PM (archived)

The media has to use descretion in reporting stories to avoid spreading falsehood. They are doing a poor job of it, but even their level of descretion seems to displease you. They also are in business so only stories they think interest people get run. Any individual should rely on many forms of information to get a broad idea of issues important to them. The whole truth can not be obtained by anyone because no one knows it.

Regards,
Mark
