I was just reminded in an email from a friend of the disgusting cartoon (recently published by The Washington Post) of a member of the armed services depicted with no arms or legs lying in a hospital bed. (What could be a more shining example of the Left's hatred of President Bush than this? That's another subject though) We then read that General Motors is pulling their advertising from the LA Times because of " factual errors and misrepresentations in the newspaper", a spokesman for the automaker said. For GM, it may seem little more than a slap on the wrist to the LA Times, but to the Times, it represents what has been estimated as a loss of around $21 million in advertising revenue a year. Major newspapers and media outlets across the country continue to lose readers, subscribers, and advertisers while ways of disseminating information and news to the public continues to morph into a completely new sub-culture of its own . While some might call this a form of censorship, it is Americans exercising their God-given right to decide how to use their advertising dollars as well as their expendable income. Of course, these newspapers can certainly continue to print whatever they like, but management had better start understanding the consequences of editorial incompetence.

For me, what is missing is CREDIBILITY. The days are gone when we go to a doctor and accept their verdict as if they were God. Many of us take a pro-active approach to our own health now. We seek other opinions and make more informed decisions. Same for our news sources. We aren't so quick to accept any one news outlet (newspaper, internet source, or television) as the gospel. We question, seek other facts and opinions, and draw our own conclusions and when the facts blur the lines with fiction and blind hatred, WE MOVE ON TO A MORE CREDIBLE SOURCE!
