We're going through a crisis of public trust. I don't know how much headroom the individual journalist has these days. Charlie Rose is pushing movies and anchoring some investigative stories on 60 Minutes. Only Bill Moyers is his own man on TV. We do have small circulation independent publications that serve academic elites, but they are below mass public notice. The Net counters some of the schlock on the mass media. But you must know where to find it. I get a lot of different perspectives from international online papers. Methinks kids should be taught to go far afield to find their news. Corporations run the show in the US. There's always the eccentrics on BBC. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
