Donnie,

I was at a few too--demonstrations that is. The press tended to cover what it thought people should see. Nothing more.

Today, many of us perceive the press to be comprised of folks who don't so much report the news; rather (just a conjunction--not a reference to Dan), we see them as organizations that make the news to shape public opinion. Arguing that with anyone who doesn't see it is--well, let me put it this way: As Dorothy Kilgallen once said, "If you smoke marijuana you don't know anyone who doesn't. If you don't smoke marijuana, you don't know anyone who does." Matter of perception, that's all.
