					<description><![CDATA[Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, June 11, 1807 http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/jefferson_papers/mtjquote.html:
&lt;blockquote&gt;Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

More Twain on the press.
http://www.schindler.org/twain.html

&lt;blockquote&gt;(the press) has scoffed at religion till it has made scoffing popular.

It has defended official criminals, on party pretexts, until it has created a United States Senate whose members are incapable of determining what crime against law and the dignity of their own body is, they are so morally blind, and it has made light of dishonesty till we have as a result a Congress which contracts to work for a certain sum and then deliberately steals additional wages out of the public pocket and is pained and surprised that anybody should worry about a little thing like that.&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[BTW, Lee -- if you ever read &quot;Give War A Chance&quot;, by P.J. O&#039;Rourke, he discusses this. 

Other PJOR books I&#039;d expressly recommend are
Parliament of Whores
Eat The Rich.

He&#039;s done some other good ones, too, but those three stand out well above the others Ive read.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Many, many, many years ago (early 80&#039;s) I spent my junior year of college in Jerusalem. I found a nice bar for westerners. It was near an office building that housed the offices of SEVERAL news agencies from all over the world. So OODLES of international journalists hung out in this bar. And I learned that journalists cover the entire Middle East on their a$$es, warming a bar stool in Jerusalem. Few know much Hebrew at all, almost none know Arabic. 

Many rely on the stringers (and various gophers), most of whom are Arabs, and many of whom actually work for the PLO. Stringers (and gophers) make a pittance; few Israelis would put up with such lousy pay. Their are also treated badly--like the family pet at best, indentured servent at worst. Again, few Israelis were willing to put up with that.

Consider this, and the Michael Crichton&#039;s &quot;Gell Mann Amnesia Effect&quot; and you know WHY people who read the MSM are SOOOOOOOO misinformed.

Sigh...]]></description>
