Memo to Media - Tell the Truth and They will Come
The majority of Americans still just want the facts. . .no spin, just the truth.

Find it, report it, and move on.

Your ratings might just go up.

1. I keep thinking that they will come to see this rather obvious fact,
but I'm disappointed every effing time.

The problem is they have to broadcast 24/7, and they are too damn lazy to find real stories.

Where's Uncle Walter?

We need to find one source that we can get behind and bolster their readership/ratings, but which one?

4. good question.
you are definately not alone in your disappointment. hopefully one will eventually step up.

as for uncle walter, last i saw him was on the vineyard. clinton was also there in aug signing his book and playing golf, missed kerry on nantucket though.

keep the faith.

2. I can forsee a headline
15 Trillion dollar deficit forces New Currency III devaluation- 2001 dollar now worth, 1.03 cents. Americans hoarding Euros and Chinese Yuan.

and Rather coming back saying when he makes a mistake


Unlike CNN & Fox
