Thank you so much for pinging me! It would be helpful if all freepers, when reading inflammatory stories, would search out the original documents or experts in the field.

Their is a concerted agenda by much of the press and the major networks to inflame the conservatives and stir up trouble for the administration.

While not all ideas coming from the White House will necessarily be something I agree with, I would at least like to know the truth, rather than wasting my time being upset about something that is falsely portrayed.

Prime perpetrators of this tactic of inflammatory writing are Dana Milbank of the Washington Post and almost all writers for The New York Times. Any articles from these sources should be gone over with a fine-tooth comb.

That's the wonderful thing about FReepers. They immediately identify the B.S. in articles from these sources for all to see. That's why the left is faltering so; they no longer control information dissemination.

Personally, regarding articles from these sources, I suggest throwing them directly on the compost pile, but to each his own.

I agree with you. I see all of this hype as the beginning stages of the Presidential run of 2004. By hyping the Homeland Security Dept into an Orwellian Big Brother, the left inflames the liberty-minded base of the President.

Notice recently how the President's approval ratings, although still high, have fallen. How can this be, considering his recent victories? It's because the left has been successful in painting one of his greatest victories as an affront to his constituency.
