11. Well I just did some anayssis of both my county and city budgets

knowing that NONE is doing that, well you will have to take my quotes (and links to the governments documents)

Generally speaking, you should try to verify with two other sources when possible, which is almost impossible in breaking news situations.

The other thing you should look for is a reporter that is honest and tells you when they are doing an editorial, or straight reporting. The problem is that many of the talking heads mix the two forms any longer.

I don't know what an anayssis is, but gosh don't you wish they were all as swell as our gal Nads!

Man....no clue.  I just spent a few hours at Discussionist and the stupid is a bit overwhelming, right now.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

Anayssis. Isn't she Shanaynay's little sister?

Is she on the San Diego City Council?

  :lol:

A primitive of trying to claim they would be objective.

No doubt when nads writes about her OWS comrades she's completely unsympathetic to their cause and her "reporting" reflects an unbiased POV.

What?

The journalist's first requirement is the ability to express a thought clearly in the Queen's English.
