Sharon - I didn't mean to suggest that we should ignore the media, just realize what it is all about. In fact, I think you might be echoing what I was trying to say. As I said earlier, we need to draw our own conclusions from a variey of sources.

I DON'T think that the media intentionally lies or changes the focus - they merely reflect what the public is asking for. The sensationalism that the media creates is merely a reflection of our curiosity. If people weren't feeding off it, the media wouldn't cover it. Frankly we are "to blame" for it's existence - we create it.
