Rand, >>>It may or may not work, but I admire their efforts, small though they may be, in trying to maintain an image, and a policy, of as absolute an honesty as they can accomplish. Call me naive if you like, but I still think that MOST news organizations do strive for truth and accept no less. And yes, I do know there are exceptions, both here in the US and abroad, but they are usually easy to spot.<<<< It's interesting how many assume that only the word NAIVE applies. We are not naive, we expect certain conditions to apply and are constantly finding the line being drawn in the sand moving closer and closer to the water's edge. I too applaud the likes of NGS or the LA Times, but Tim Fitzharris for example is published (at least some of his books) by The Sierra Club a premier nature conservancy group. Where does one place their faith? I agree, there is still a lot of effort in the fight for some forms of integrity to remain true, but why is there a battle at all?
