Marc--

I knew that would get you to talk to me! 

Now we all know that Riefenstahl was a master photgrapher (used Leicas!) and
cinematographer. No doubt about that. But that doesn't make the work she
created an accurate portrayal of history. Any more than some of the things
that Hurley did. Both were creating propaganda. So there. 

As for the current media bias? You mean the right-wing conservative media's
refusal to acknowledge the truth?

Check the archives.  It was over my support for Riefenstahl's artistry that
BD Colen denounced me as a bigoted so-and-so.

I presume that you are referring to the prounced media bias towards John
Kerry and against Bush?
