You just can't trust what the m.s.m says. Add to that you are led by the nose by liberal anti bush anti American writers pushing the gay&lesbian,prochoice,antimilitary,crap.
So you just don't purchase the Times or Post or the local little town rag anymore.
I dropped subscription to the local rag way back in the day of the Queer March on Washington when I got on my doorstep an entire thicker-than-normal edition devoted from page 1 to page last to the wonderfulness of being homosexual. This is a self proclaimed "Libertarian" newspaper that publishes almost all stock left opinion plus Walter Williams.
