Dear Eric,
In every case where the press reported on something that was know to me
through direct, personal experience, the press got important facts wrong. I
also believe that the press constantly bows to direct or indirect pressure
from owner, advertisers, influential people, etc. In fact, members of the
press frequently complain of just these constraints to their ability to do
their jobs. Individual members of the press may try to tell the truth a lot
of the time, but it is also true that the truth is concealed, preverted, and
distorted by the press.
Sincerely,
Joe Stephenson
