  3. Some would say that the mainstream media has had an agenda of its own for a long time. So, that idea isn’t new. As long as there have been providers of news, there have been agendas (Hearst, Murdoch, all the same.) And I say this as a newspaper person. The more money an organization has, the better digging it can do.

  4. First off, let me say that TR was a man’s man. The world needs more men like him back in leadership positions.

    Secondly, Miss C, the ‘Story within a Story’ is well conceived, well written, and on a certain level very true, but based on the focus on just one example, I would say Mr. Bowden also has an agenda. An agenda not much different than is obviously presented by the type and slant of the links provided by this page time and again…. :)
