Anyone for a media boycott, where we stop being glued to the "spoon fed" info and start talking to eachother face to face. Scarry isn't it, xcept for a two second conversation with a stranger. Can we engage a stranger in a conversation?

Nice thought! Unfortunately in the world today I don't think that wil happen. I am all for it personally.

I do it all the time. Offline, even. I'm an HR secretary, and I frequently get into conversations with people I don't know. My boss, who is the HR director, trusts my opinions about job applicants, too. And then I take the bus home, and everyone thinks I look approachable. So frankly, when I get home, I want a damn break from talking to people I don't know face to face!

Have you ever tried to engage someone in conversation that you were with alone in an elevator that you didn't know? It doesn't work as folks are leery of communicating with strangers. Whereas reporters are trained to ask questions without biases and because they have the credentials, people tend to speak with them.

and how is a stranger going to give you anything but his/her opinion? How is a stranger going to do any research/investigation into any hot topic?
Reporters are trained to do straight reporting, trying to exclude their opinion. Do you call other peoples opinions fair?
