(9,253 posts)for that part about saying I was demanding people blindly follow me (I didn't make that argument). And also, that part about blindly trusting other media sources (I''m not advocating anyone trust any media source blindly--in fact, if you read (I know, I know, that's an issue for you) my original post, you'll note I put in "if true" because I have no idea if Mr. Parry's source is credible. I do know his suggestion we not jump to conclusions is historically a sound one and, in the real world that exists outside of this thread, does not mean an embrace of "Team Putin". And, finally, the media competency thing is kind of essential to the not jumping to conclusions thing because if the US media did us wrong by cheerleading us to disaster last time, they might be doing the same thing this time. As George W Bush once said, fool me once, shame--nevermind. Other than those few quibbles, your post was an excellent one and I really will take your admonishment to heart.
