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... ******************************************** Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs Over the Moon- "bringing the melancholy world of twilight to life almost like magic" All Music Guide ********************************************
