I was just reading a story on the Jena 6 case and after all of the media coverage it once again seems that the media jumped the gun reporting facts that were not true or incomplete at least about the case. Why do people trust the media when this seems to be the case in most instances.

Examples:

It was widely reported that Bell, now 17, was an honor student with no prior criminal record. Although he had a high grade-point average, he was, in fact, on probation for at least two counts of battery and a count of criminal damage to property. In any event, his conviction was overturned because an appeals court ruled he should not have been tried as an adult.)

The so-called "white tree" at Jena High, often reported to be the domain of only white students, was nothing of the sort, according to teachers and school administrators; students of all races, they say, congregated under it at one time or another.

I am not for or against any Middle Eastern Country, I am only concern with America and Americans,but maybe if we were more neutral and the affairs of others we would be better off

of rights, there is a constant stuggle for what each wants, which results in 2/3 divorces. Is there any chance of marriage recovering, for heterosexuals, I mean?

(Gays are still testing the waters in their marriages, and we have yet to see whether they will have better or worse marriages than heterosexuals.)

I was reading today that when Gerry went to check on his kids he found their bedroom door open when he was sure he had previously left it closed. Apparently he then thought that Madeleine must have got up for a drink and left it open so he returned to the pub. I was just wondering...don't you need to be caring and clever to be a doctor? I'm not sure who are the kids and who are the adults in this family. I really hope little Madeleine is found soon, she was entitled to care and protection, lets pray she gets another chance.

Israel is a democratic country that can be changed through peacful coercisive means like Britain (even though they were not democratic in India) so why not stop using violence and try using passive resistance like Ghandi? Even Ghandi remained peaceful even when British soldiers were beating or killing his people, he just used all violent incedents performed by Britain to be used against them in the form of media to bring embarrasment to the countries government.

World famous adventurer and billionaire. With all our modern day technology they can't find him? We can "see" several feet beneath the earth, we can use satellites to surveil any individual on the planet, we have GPS technology yet they can't find a guy who left in a small aircraft with a limited range?

After studying history, I've come to the conclusion that government and media have always been biased and corrupt. They are almost always on the side of the wealthy establishment. Just 50 years ago, people understood that you could not trust what was said in the media and what was reported by the government. The bias was understood by everyone.

My concern is that people believe today still believe in WMDs, that a handful of muslims brought down the NYC towers, and that JFK was assassinated by Lee Oswald (a CIA man).

Why are people so gullible? Is it the lack of education in history? Is it the effectiveness of today's slick propaganda?

when he was proved soooooooo wrong about Saddam having any WMDs?

If the Weapons Inspectors checked and found that Iran is not making any Nuclear Bombs as Bush sez isn't it rather irresponsible for Bush to make the claims that he is making?

Or is this just proof that Bush is a couple cards short of a full deck?

without admitting that they do it with guns?
For the hardnuts, sure there are other ways to kill, but they are not as easy and as cowardly as pointing a gun FROM A DISTANCE. As someone else pointed out, most murders are done in an emotional outburst when a gun is handy.

wreath at the Ground Zero to show his respect for those who died there - especially since Iran had nothing to do with the 911 attacks?????????


And isn't this one of the reasons why people hate us because we are so paranoid and hypocritical about things like this?

Congratulations, you're a winner of a $500 Wal-Mart Gift certificate! This message has been randomly popping-up on various websites, especially those on Yahoo with instructions: To collect your winnings complete the information survey. This is a scam that Wal-Mart has nothing whatsoever to do with. In case you're interested--you are hereby warned: Don't provide any personal information including your email address. Any personal information you provide will be sold to Internet telemarketers and email spammers, shortly after which you could find your email box inundated with 50 - 100 spam emails on a daily basis. And you'll encounter all sorts of circumvention games when it comes to collecting your gift certificate or whatever else is offered in this pure scam. Instead, collect the information and report it to Internet fraud authorities. If enough people flood Wal-Mart and the Internet fraud bureau with enough complaints eventually they'll have no choice but to investigate this scam.

I am finding all these sick postings about the Mcanns incredibly distressing. Much as yyou might try to niot get involved these postings are everywhere. Should Yahoo completely ban ALL postings refering to the Mcanns? Or should freedom of speech prevail even though these postings are designed to offend?

All I know is I feel sick everytime I read one and replying to them is obviously how these people get their kicks.
