$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'T')anada, your biologic imperative is an excuse, it insults the humble, weary, kind and generous among us. Not everyone consumes for the sake of consuming, or breeds for the sake of filial growth.
As always Pete your choosing to ignore reality will not change anything except perhaps your own mental comfort level. Biology is what it is, not what you wish it to be no matter how hard you wish, or pray, or do magic spells.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I just think this MSM-bashing is too divorced from actual instances of fact vs. fictionalized reporting.
Could someone give an example of the MSM, by virtue of wanting to "sell soap" reporting an untruth? And I'm talking about something that is directly relevant to doom, today.
If the MSM reports that an antarctic shelf breaks off, complete with pictures, isn't that pretty clear-cut?
We're in an era where almost everything is recorded digitally. That's why there's so much coverage of crimes captured on video. There's really little wiggle room for things to just be manufactured out of thin air. That's not to say the INTERPRETATION of the data can't vary, but there's less trees falling in the forest without making a sound.

When the MSM reports a story about Fukushima do they report the facts, or do they hype fear with every scary sounding word in their vocabulary to draw more audience and increase their ratings for ad revenue purposes?
