  • Good article about how interviewers dodge journalists' questions. (Taken from Matt's Mac Hall newspost.)

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>That's an excellent article, one of the best I've read. Basically, says what Moore and does without all the flamboyancy, attacks, and humour, and reiterates what Goldberg said in Bias</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Will you quit praising that book? It's trash, and it's wrong. It's written by some bitter right-winged journalist who was pissed off at the mythological and ficitious "liberal media". There is no liberal media! There never was, and there never will be!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Here's a solution: Keep asking/rephrasing the question until the guy finally answers it, and then edit out all of the previous tries. Thus, you don't ruin the public image, but you still get the information across. Of course, this becomes an issue of editor bias, but that has always existed.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Like I said, I'm willing to trust a "bitter right-winged journalist" (I'm pretty certain he says he's a liberal in the book, BTW) with 30 years of experience than anyone here, including myself. Try reading the book, then criticize it. I do agree that it's not COMPLETELY a liberal bias, just mostly</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I've read reviews on it. Have you read "Deliver Us From Evil"? Do you need to read it to know that it's right-winged trash? Reading a book takes a lot out of my time, so I try not to waste it on the wrong ones.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Reading reviews is not the same as reading it. If you want to disregard a book, fine, your point about limited time is a good one. But don't act like you know these things for certain; you don't. You're trusting someone else's judgement. Don't act like an authority on a book you've never read.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Did it ever occur to you that a book like that would be attacked by the media, it's supporters, and it's believers much in the same way Moore's stuff gets attacked by the right-wing nuts? It shouldn't be that hard to find a bad review on the book</div>
