The same can be true for the major news networks though that can be traced all the way back to the Viet Nam War coverage. In the late sixties when there was a lot of comment about how the heartland felt about the war as opposed to the two coasts, CBS decided to have their veritable anchor, Walter Conkrite, return to his roots in order to demonstrate how he represented "middle America". His roots happened to be the town in which I lived at the time, St. Jospeh, Missouri. His father was a retired dentist who lived (or I think by then just his mother as I believe his father might have been deceased) four blocks from my home and his sister-in-law was an English teacher at my high school. (She was not only my English teacher that year but also my homeroom teacher). He spoke both at a school assembly if I recall correctly (local boy made good) but also at a public gathering that evening. Never was it more obvious that someone was out of touch than Conkrite as he proceeded to lecture those assembled about how mistaken they were about the war, etc. The comment of many, if not most in the audience was his audacity. Interestingly enough, his visit was played by the media (both local and national) as an affirmation that what he thought was the way middle America thought as well. Ever since that episode, I have had little if any faith in anything that I read or hear from the msm. They have an agenda and will ramrod it through no matter what. Thus in the Grey Lady world Obama is the next president - the voters don't even need to bother to show up at the polls.<BR/>cksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-14322744965769513312008-07-23T11:10:00.000-04:002008-07-23T11:10:00.000-04:00Everybody thought this story about John Edwards wa...Everybody thought this story about John Edwards was made up to hurt his political career.<BR/>Looks like it's true.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.nationalenquirer.com/sen_john_edwards_caught_with_mistress_and_love_child_in_la_hotel/celebrity/65193" REL="nofollow">Edwards out of wedlock child</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
