| Memo to the mainstream press: why we don't believe you |
| 2006-08-29 |
| by Mary Katherine Ham Does the mainstream press ever wonder why conservatives distrust them so much? If so, they need look no further than the “fauxtography” scandals of the last couple of weeks. Conservative bloggers have been hard at work sniffing out suspected fakery and staging in the photos sent back on the newswires from the Israel/Hezbollah conflict, and the investigation got pretty smelly. . . . A very useful roundup with links. Go read it all. |

| #3 I got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes. Dan Rather Be careful. Journalism is more addictive than crack cocaine. Your life can get out of balance. Dan Rather I've tried everything. I can say to you with confidence, I know a fair amount about LSD. I've never been a social user of any of these things, but my curiosity has carried me into a lot of interesting areas. Dan Rather The reelection of Bill Clinton is as secure as a double-knot tied in wet rawhide. Dan Rather What I say or do here won't matter much, nor should it. Dan Rather |

| #2 But why would the lefties 'believe' the MSM? Oh, sure, they like what they read, but I liked the Lord of the Rings books, but I seldom confuse them with reality. Although it does have a number of good vs. evil thems that do seem to fit today - the Two Towers - Iran and North Korea? |

| #1 Fake news? Hell, most business have to post disclaimers on their products - paid celebrity announcer, paid spokesman, actors posing as doctors, etc. Why shouldn't the media be required to either validate the information or post similar disclosures. Remember, its not an issue of free speech, it's an issue of commerce. |
