I agree with you on this one %100 percent GA.

I think there are occassions where the Government takes advantage of the media's laziness and gluttony to disseminate dissinformation, but the ratings frenzy currently going on makes it impossible to determine when and if this is happening at all.

I applaud our current medias bravery, but I wish it were coupled with quality journalism. In Gulf War One, the media allowed themselves to be almost totally co-opted, and this ought to be way better than that. Unfortunately, the acces and new technology have created a pigs at the trough mentality that doesn't need to be manipulated. It generates it's own fog and discredits itself.
