VERY well stated. It reminds me of the commercial where the
Girl says: "I read it on the internet so it must be true"
Guy: "Where'd you hear that?"
Girl: "The internet"
Basically the media is trying to relate it to the same issue that ensued in the 1970's when this is a completely different issue. However, many people still remember Governor Thompson and the media frenzy that was caused. It seems the papers are trying to link the two together to cause yet the same media frenzy which is only a detriment to the cause.
But guess what folks the media is a business. The more controversy the more papers they sell. So why would they ever misrepresent a story or leave out a word or two to grab readers attention? Maybe we will never know.
