In a world of perceptions so carefully crafted by spin, challenging
some of these ‘facts’ back seems almost like a duty.

Yes, but simply reprinting the counter-clockwise spin is a rather poor
way of “challenging” things.

Don, If you really think that is what I’m doing, please just show us

Yes, that is exactly what you’re doing. You failed to provide even
a paragraph of your own valuable insight. No need to be so lazy. We
all know you can do better than that.

Hard to see this as simply counter-spin. Indeed, its a bit light on
for spin at all. It is a grave concern when folks can’t seperate the
spin from the facts.

All media is biased in some way. And you’re right, it’s a problem
that folks like yourself can’t seem to see that.
Anyhow, the point that I seem unable to make is that simply reprinting
it adds nothing. It merely serves as propaganda. No doubt there is
a great deal of truth in the report. But the commission is made up
of people, and as such they’re all biased in some way. What truths
did they leave out? What facts did the reporters omit and why? If
you’re not asking these questions then you don’t posess the whole
truth either. Just the part you like. Obviously that suits you, so
I’ll be off.
