what is interesting is how Popular Photography shamelessly pushes digital 
these days -- the aricles i can understand, but in a recent   set of reviews 
they 
talked about "budget busting" film cameras that cost $2 K, but didn't have a 
single bad word to say about digital cameras costing $5 K.

Subtle use of words is how you set minds against things -- politics is not 
the only place.
