First of all, I didn't flame the poster, I have my reasons in questioning anything from NewsMax. I did check the source and as usual NewsMax has titled the article in it's predictable sensationalist manner.

First of all, I didn't take your reply as a flame to me, the poster ... and you are right - everyone has a right to post an opinion as to a news source's worthiness (in that regard, for instance, I am slowly changing in some of my opinions on "Judicial Watch" as a news source because of suspicions passed on to me by others here at FR.) I welcome valid news source "suspicions" since, to me, ALL Media needs to be looked at with a "jandous eye."

However, althought recognizing and supporting your right to do so and perhaps your past reasons in believing as you do (not yet known), I am questioning your claim that NewsMax has in this case "titled the article in it's predictable sensationalist manner"

Anyone can read every word from the title given as directly taken right from the Government document not only cited but posted ... i.e.:
- it is a US issued Declaration
- it is a declaration of Emergency
- it is an Emergency for Mad Cow Disease

Therefore it is difficult for anyone to agree with your rationale given for complaining about the "source" on this of all articles referenced by them.

"CWD" has been among captive bread herds of Elk for years, My wife works in a Laboratory as a Microbioligist for the past 25 years and has worked with this disease, The emergency that was declared can not be compared to what he saw in Europe where almost all the cattle had to be destroyed, This is why I question the title, not the report. The way NewsMax titled this article was for reaction

I was a subscriber of NewsMax, I realize that some of their articles are very enlightening and truthful, but I found that many of their articles were sensational and not based on responsible reporting, and in some occasions outright lies. So I dropped my subscription along with a letter explaining my reasons.

What I base my opinion of NewsMAx on is the way they build a story completely off of suspicions or hypathetical situations. I can't tell you how many times I have read how we were about to be bombed by China, or how General "such-n-such" has determined that N. Korea will Nuke us in the coming years. I personally feel this is an irresponsible way of reporting news or so called news, and this is why I don't trust their reporting
