Paul:
No great news here (but I repeat your words)...Just look at the "reporters" on network news. Since there is only a limited amount of really newsworthy items, they have decided that sex and violence sells, even for news and weather. So you have a large number of bimbos, whose IQ number is approximately the same as their chest measurement, and male commentators, who are selected for the same qualifications as an attack dog - aggressive attitude and lack of compassion. The real news is out here, in forums and expertise groups.

From http://worldcadaccess.typepad.com/ (Ralph Grabowski's CAD blog)

"In short, for any given news item, a signigicant segment of the
population knows more about the topic than do the journalists. Ever
wince when a tv reporter reports on computer viruses?

News organizations, such as the 'New York Times,' are now in the
difficult situtation where their news is no longer new. Whose editors
and writers are ignorant of CAD and other topics, through no fault of
their own."
