Thanks,

The irony is that I am the scion of liberals who love FDR. However, when i was a cadet at West Point in the late 70's, the scales fell from my eyes in regard to the liberal media.

At the time, the NYT covered events (mostly puff pieces about "how swimingly well the integration of women is occuring at the military academy"). The reporting of the NYT on these event of which I had personal knowledge had little basis in reality and was very inaccurate.

This was all the more unpalatable because we were forced to subscibe to the NYT and to read it every day. So, yes, I've had my fill of liberal propaganda shoved down my throat.

Of all the institutions in the US, I think the press is the lowest. In my military career, I can't really recall the media reporting a story accurately of which I had personal knowledge.
