[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Hmmm...I just cant accept a poll (or sampling) without at least knowing the criteia used (numbers of people polled, areas used, times called etc.). Or the motivations of those doing the polling. (after all, "Americans favor restricting Muslim Rights" is going to sell more papers than "Americans favor equal rights") I thought about this some today as I read the local paper ([i]The Sun Sentinel[/i]). I think the overall integrity of the media (newspapers in particular) has been on the decline -considerably- in recent years. We're probably only a decade or less from newspapers (or their reportrs) fabricating major stories on a regular basis in an attempt o scoop their compitition. I think there's a real resistance to investigate what the media reports....and no real consequences for those caught with fabricated stories (indivuals are ruined, but there's no real punishment for the company that allowed it to happen). I wonder if it wont degenerate back to the warmongering for headlines of the Spainish-American War. [/QB][/QUOTE]
