You're missing the point. (Deliberately, I believe!) If you take the same set of facts and dole them out to different people, you'll get a different end result depending on what they want to lead you to believe. Straight-up, honest reporting is practically non-existent anymore. (If it weren't for FOX News, I think I'd pull out all my hair!) You don't have to be a journalism major to notice that these days!!
