thanks for posting the articles sarah...weighing in on the journalism
discussion, i agree that it is pretty much all someone's opinion...

for instance a sentence from one of the articles sarah posted said this:

"The Russians and French responded to Powell with some artful platitudes
about the need to strengthen the inspections regime. "

a change of 2 words could greatly change the slant of this sentence, for
example:

"The Russians and French responded to Powell with some good arguments about
the need to strengthen the inspections regime. "

so choosing words is most definately a subjective thing as 'artful
platitudes' vs 'good arguments' demonstrates...the words chosen definately
reflect a writer's bias imo...

an interesting discussion for this group given the how we dissect so much
written content of joni's & other writers...
