What did you read "Newspaper"

newspaper, you're misinformed." -Mark Twain

And the same goes for MSNBC, CNN, PBS, ABC and most other media...

Where are the Mark Twains, and the Will Rogers, men of character and clever wit today.

Today it seems like we all need paragraphs to say things, when they delivered timeless comments in single sentences.

You are so right! Could it be that we have a harder time expressing ourselves without worrying about "offending" someone? Jim

What ever happened to the Huntely/ Brinkley's and the Walter Cronkite's who demanded that the public heard the truth?

Now it's not about the news, it's about ratings!

Newspapers quit reporting unbiased and now they all have agendas.

The Truth became a casuality of ratings or sales.

Canada's newspaper world is dominated by the Toronto Star that is so leftwing it makes Pravda blush . They are supported by a charity setup that requires this. ---Trevor http://www.atkinsonfoundation.ca/about/founder
