Tony, Ed says he's got no facts.
What he MISSES, in it's entirety, is that Americans believe pure bullshit because they READ it in their major papers and see it on their major TV news networks.
Almost 70% of those polled BELIEVED that IRAQ had WMD and was evil just because someone said so!
I'll admit, your average American is too dumb or too busy to check facts out by themselves, they'll just let Rupert Murdoch tell them what to believe!

>"Near everyone else here - journalists are all Democratic party stooges."

Yeah, they have yet to admit that BOTH parties (and all politicians) will say or do just about anything as long as they get a piece of the action.
Sorta like paid prostitutes, sorta, kinda.
They serve a purpose, and are the world's oldest profession.
Actually, I think POLITICIANS fill that bill just as well.

>"(P.S. Ed, nice avoidance of any discussion yet again........) "

Ed is sorta of, kind of, a one track mind who attempts to write something of value, but usually ends up shouting obsenities and dumping his drink on someone before making a hasty exit.
