Thanks for both the "optimist" and the "generous." Actually, the American media ARE beginning to report the French situation accurately. As another poster on this thread correctly observed, 60% of Americans are getting their news dominantly from the Internet.

That means WE are part of the media (broadly defined), and WE are reporting this story correctly.

OH SURE! If you're going to include US...!

So the internet's now part of the media??? Then I suppose it is becoming more truthful. And accurate.

Come to think of it, I've been using the tagline "The internet is the newspaper of record" for some time now. Sometimes your subconscious just gets way ahead of your awareness.

Okay. The media's reporting plenty. (But network television is still the same old propaganda machine.) And note tagline.
