Hi George,
Given I'm as clueless as a brick when it comes to all this "twitter --  
facebook and whatever else machines there are and to come?"  This site looks 
like a whorehouse in Benghazi on a Saturday night filled with drunken 
morons!

The site you suggested looks like the lunatics are running the asylum! It 
appears anyone with one those so called "hold in hand take pictures --  
comment on whatever subject they want just to hear themselves make a noise 
about situations they think they are "reporting common sense logical 
information about?"

If this is what the future of journalism is all about, when at one time it 
was considered an "Honourable Profession" to be part of." 
Well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell not me Bro' !

However? What we see here???

Let me assure you I am extremely glad I wont be around to be involved as 
this collection of buffoons with their toys, no brains, nor education, nor 
life experiences? This is nothing more than a gaggle of vacuum headed twits 
with nothing better to do than waste their lives making a noise!

Now having said all that. I trust my reaction is in the affirmative of your 
direction of where journalism has gone, going to, and will get worse! Simply 
because there's absolutely no accountability for what's shown nor said! We 
hear so often about "Freedom of the Press" in each of our countries and 
those of the free world. But what we see, read and hear in this is nothing 
but "Freedom of the Morons!" No offence to any morons not in attendance! :-)

cheers,
ted

OH and to keep it on topic? ....I do think if one looks closely in the crowd 
there's a Leica in there somewhere! ;-)
