Larry,

I think you miss read my post. Oh I know there are conspiracies but I believe that many conspiracies are the result of the press. The greatest conspiracy of all is the press. Believe half of what you read and and only half of that and then you'll have the truth.

I have always believed that Oswald did it alone. The mass of evidence I read on the Oswald situation is highly speculative and very little based on fact. But, I don't want to go there.

However what I was addressing was what I know from personal experience and what I have seen done by the press. Of all our institutions the press is the least to be trusted. In other words don't believe everything you read because that is the greatest conspiracy of all, a lying press that just enjoys stirring the pot. They love to destroy good people. Many are so gullible they believe anything which is in black and white without reseaching the issues to see how much truth is behind it. Sooo, I am deeply supicious of the press. We all laugh at the National Inquirer but the regular press, though more sophisicated, is laughable to say the least.

Liberals are quick to jump on the bandwagon when something is supposedly dug up by the press on a conservative. Conservatives do the same with a liberal. The press just loves to make controversy to sell papers.

I don't know if the research in your article is accurate but I take it all with a grain of salt, just because I don't trust the press. Liberal or conservative.

Oh, Network News believe 1/4 of their investigating reports and half of that you'll do good.

For instance: ABC about a month ago had big segement on the dangers of eating charred meat. Yes charred meat does have cancer causing toxins but you'd have to eat several hundred pounds of charred meat daily to get into the danger range. Texas which is the barbeque capitol of the world doesn't have any higher cancer rates than places that rarely barbeque. Soo ABC told a (half truth) and sensationalized it, and scared a whole bunch of people unnecessarily.

I know that occassionally investigative reporting uncovers some really nasty things that are wrong with our society but I think that happens by luck. I believe the press is not to be trusted, printed, on the web, or on radio or television.

P.S. I don't believe in Big Foot. The classic joke played out on the media. Saw a special on a Big Foot hunt in Florida on the news yesterday. What a joke.
