There is no shortage of reporting or news.And the flag-draped coffins tell their own story as well.

TB, I don't trust your sources. Don't take it as a personal insult, and don't think I'm accusing them of making things up. I'm sure they believe what they're saying. But they want to believe so badly I just can't accept them any more. They are political anomalists like the rest of the alternative media and the blogosphere: you cannot use as a source of information people who have been given the technical means to shape public opinion without some form of professional and ethical structure and guidance. It's like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank.

The main stream media, for all its faults, is open to public scrutiny and the accountability of the free market. If you don't like our own, there is always the rest of the world's.
