One of my problems is that while surfing i also listen to music (for the moment Jim Morrison is screaming "bring out your dead, bring out your dead..." as an intro to "The End". On my Apple screen (nice product placement) following texts scroll by:

[courtesy of cbs's dick meyers's against the grain]

"This reporter is deeply embedded in a Dell desktop computer and a bunch of TV screens in a newsroom in Washington."

"Or is it the vocational imperative of the journalist to show the unvarnished, uncensored facts (not always the truth, but the facts - they are not necessarily the same thing)? Is it irresponsible to sanitize the images of war? Who are we to choose what you see and what you don't see?"

and Jim sings : "...in a desperate land..."

where facts are not the same as the truth.

What else will journalists invent to hide their inability of being a journalist.
