Have you ever noticed that every time you have direct personal knowledge of a newsworthy event, when you read the story in the newspaper the next day, they have just about everything wrong? This happens over and over again. Talk to anybody who has been the subject of a newspaper story, and they'll tell you the same thing.
And yet, those same people will pick up the New York Times the next day and believe every word.
It happens on FreeRepublic all the time. Freepers, of all people, should be well aware that the media is almost completely untrustworthy. Yet, several times a day (hour!?!) Freepers kneejerk themselves into hysteria based on the latest lies published by the AP, CBSnews, or the NYT's. It's like Charlie Brown and Lucy. How many times do you have to get the football yanked from in front of you before you stop falling for the same old crap.
