Subject: Re:

Artful Dodger: [ And the media is covering fer him ]

I sometimes wonder what is going on with the media. With the loss of reader and viewership (which in the real world means loss of revenue) you would think they might want to get back to basic principles of journalism... because simply telling the truth actually sells papers and draws in viewers (and listeners).

Whether they like what the news is telling them or not, some people actually want to know what is happening. Even people who prefer to hear what they want to hear are better served knowing.

Politicians don't kid themselves about what is true or not, even if some of them aren't telling us the truth. But there's no reason for someone like me to not want to know... the only thing I can do with a fantasy is to daydream. Fantasies have no other practical purpose.
