” what they don’t report is far more important and interesting than what they do report. “

There’s a real interesting - and, I think, significant - phenomenon here on the Ol’ Homethread —

We’ve developed the ability to take an offhand, non-detailed report from the media (the proverbial tiny diamond buried in mountains of dreck) and assign something approaching the proper significance — and then put these tidbits together into a fairly cohesive picture of the “world as NOT reported”....

I consider myself fortunate to be involved (and, sometimes, to be permitted to hang around ) in this endeavor......

Agreed. I'm amazed at the analysis and solutions achieved here when several sharp minds are bent to a single task consisting of many puzzles with loose ends.

I too feel feel it a real treat to be tolerated here.
