Distrust In The Making
See, it's everyday.
Everyday wonderful things like this come up and one begins to realize that the blogger's distrust and distaste of mainstream media really is grounded in something.
These big papers have the time and the resources, much more so than bloggers anyway, to do the research to ensure that they are telling the truth.
Why wouldn't you tell it?
The only plausible answer I can think of to that question is that they are pushing an agenda.
Which is all fine and good (except for not because there are rules and codes of conduct against that sort of thing) but isn't that the same thing they accuse bloggers of?
Being too one sided and not having all of the facts. We may not have all the facts, but it must be pretty embarrassing for these big papers to have to say; yeah, we are best equipped to acquire the facts, but print falsely anyway.
Just tell the truth, even if it is good news (heaven forbid) I know you have it in you.
