This is the problem with most sheep, they think if FOX, CBS, or whatever personal favorite reports it, then it's true, and if it's not, then it's just someone's personal wet dream.

There's some reasonableness to that. You don't know if an independant news source might be motivated to make something up. For the most part, the major news sources don't outright make stuff up, as it will badly hurt their bottom line when their readers stop believing them. They might both have agendas, but the MSM has enough attorneys and bean counters to know better than to falsify reports.

It is an editorial which quotes from a trial..which is public information.. still newsworthy.

The quote is from 1991... it may have been newsworthy a decade and a half ago.

I didn't say it wasn't "unreasonable" to think that way, I'm merely stating that determining a story/report/POV's truthfullness soley by whether or not it's reported by the MSM, is borderline retarded. But hey, there is a 30-40% retard factor in this country, so it's to be expected.
