Anita, YaYa, Fedora, you, and many other FReepers do the best, the most thorough, the most unimpeachably well documented research to be found anywhere. Reading this post I let out a couple of rebel yells of sheer pleasure at your workmanship.
American "news consumers," as the criminally stupid and partisan DBM hacks refer to readers and viewers, are starved for a sense of excellence and honesty in the presentation of events. If they hired people capable of disinterested research and honest writers, regular people would not feel they are descending into a snake-pit of lies when they open a newspaper or turn on the tv.
This reluctance to be mere "consumers" of what the media moguls dictate we will be allowed to see/hear, is falsely interpreted by them as our "sheep-like" indifference to what are, essentially, matters of life and death for ourselves and our children. They expect that we will submit to the
journalistic standards of Holland, and watch our children submit to dhimmitude, or to the blade across the throat.
Thank you all for all you do to put the facts out there.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Barset. It's my pleasure, believe me.
