Another interesting link...
The Mudville Gazette discusses what really happened when Kerry spoke to the VFW, not what the TV says happened. Take a look.
My daughter is reading 1984 for school. This news blackout is scary stuff, as Orwell predicted. It used to be that the news was biased by reporting things, but then slanting them. At least that way you can read between the lines. But what happens if the incident is not even reported? If you're not on-line, how would you know that 200+ men who served around Kerry say he's not fit for command? All you would get is "Kerry is suing someone for some obscure campaign finance thing."
Freedom of the press, like freedom of anything else, comes with responsibility. Thank God for the internet and the web logs (blogs) that are rapidly replacing the stale newspapers and TV network news.
