I'm mainly talking about interviews in the print media here....
I ask this question because I was recently interviewed for my local paper, and when said 'interview' was finally published it was complete bollocks!! I couldn't recognise myself in it anywhere!
That got me thinking.....do we read too much into interviews with various celebs/politicians/etc??
So often you hear people say they've been misquoted and that their words have been taken out of context etc. etc.....
After my recent experience I believe a lot gets lost in translation, even if you are quoted correctly......what are your thoughts on this? I'd be interested to know!

Their first cabinet meeting revolved around invading Iraq, they lied to the American People, outed a CIA operative, falsified and 'spun' intelligence reports, ignored advice from knowledgeable people, packed Federalpositions with incompetents, and engaged in illegal activity from the very first.
Why have they not been held accountable and sentenced to jail?

Keep in mind that OPEC and other oil-producing countries like Russia have all built refineries in order to sell oil products processed from their country's secure supply of domestic crude oil. The exporters, OPEC and NON-OPEC all want and often insist that the Oil importing nations and Multinational OILCO's buy their products rather than their crude oil because they make even more money per barrel of processed oil than they do selling it raw as crude. Did you know that the volume of products processed from raw crude oil is greater than the volume of the crude? Consider this little know Fact: There is a very lucrative 10 to 15 % volume gain when refining crude oils into gasoline and pertrochemical precursors. Having built refineries at home, the OPECkers and other oil exporting newcomers obviously want consumers to pay off their refining investments and they have the power to make it so.TWH 05222007-2

I don't believe the US government could do such a thing to its people but lately I've been noticing more people are believing the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11. Rosie O'Donnell for example.. she said 9/11 was "the first time fire ever melted steal".

Funny old world is it not?

Yesterday's headline was - 'chief of police says there are too many surveillance cameras in our communities'. Ergo, Does he want us to get rid of them ?

TODAY - police are looking at camera recordings hoping to catch those who set fire to the Cutty Sark. (A very sad event.)

Who finds this rather ironic?

If you consider how many guns there are in the country (250 million) compared to how many illegal gun deaths (20,000), you get one death for every 12,500 guns.

As a fraction, that's zero point 00008 percent of all guns are used to murder.

I see that the Democrates are happy when bad news happens, and they use that bad news to try to get hate toward the soldiers and the president. Dont they know that al-Qaida is using the US news media to try to turn the US public against the war effort to build Iraq. Al-Qaida is killing muslums, yet no one seems to mind when they blow up innocent muslims, yet the Democrates blame Bush for the terrorist blowing up muslims. I really have to wonder, are teh Democrates really that stupied, or are they working with Al-Qaida to turn the Americian public agaisnt the war effort?

heres the link to forestall liberal whine

quoting
She said quality pre-kindergarten programs will more than pay for themselves because children will be less likely to enter special education programs, drop out of school or enter the welfare system. She also said preparing children for school also reduces behavioral problems.
quoting
"We consistently fail to invest in what will save us money."
1.) To truly invest in what makes us money, what's wrong with the economy by giving working people back more of what they earn. They will spend it and increase the gnp making more tax revenue instead of welfare schemes.
2.)If our four year olds need to depend on the government instead of parents and families to ready them for school, isnt that symptomatic and proof postive of the FAILURE of this type of social welfare diatribe ms. Clinton is proposing?
3.)Per dollar on special ed kids, how good is a univerasal spend spree?
