I’m so tired of the Media determining what is

acceptable or not. Reporters have become critics. Too lazy to do their real job of digging for facts the public needs to be informed

(and cannot get at ourselves), Media people instead pontificate, imply, enjoin, sneer; they digest the few facts any of us have access to

and spit out their own interpretation as definitive and final.

Two weeks ago, the Media declared Howard Dean the certain nominee of

the Democratic party. Now, after a single incident (in which I see nothing improper or even worthy of comment) these same Noble Lords

declare him dead and done for.

I don’t know if that’s true or not — I don’t believe anyone will know before we all know. But I do

know the Media is not doing the job of the Press any longer; they’re all critics and spinners reading cue cards written by

people we probably should not trust.

The Press has let us down, quite possibly for the last time. Our democracy is in

peril because of that. All that is left is to see for yourself, read for yourself, think for yourself. mjh
