>I once had a course where my instructor gave the assignment to write a one page paper describing a ping pong ball using only facts. That's all he said. No one passed the test. If you said it was white, he said did you measure it with a spectragraph? If so, what were the results? If you said it was round, you were wrong, becuase it is not. Round describes a two dimensional object, it was spherical - a three dimensional adjective. My point is, newspapers give information, not facts, based on their political leanings. Your sources are filtering the data according to their religious/political/ethnic/etc. perspectives. Don't confuse facts with news.

Great object summation. Lets tell that to all those lost American's and Iraqis that were forced to depart this world based on facts of WMDs and 9-11 Links from our administration and NYC news services and a willing public. Should we start laundering our "brown shirts"?

Assumption: Objectivity has failed us.

Right now, the 'ole' objectivity card is a joke. Maybe it will work in your neighborhood, but it don't work in mine:). Mind games won't wash the blood off our hands!
