UNFAIR AND UNBALANCED

There are two sides to many of life’s happenings/doings.
The Study is a tiny online journal or blog if you will.

It has very, very, very few readers. Perhaps three or four.
As such, we at The Study can pretty much say what we like and not really bother to prove any of it.
But sometimes we do put evidence forth. Often we do not.

At any rate, a couple of things:

This AM’s newspaper carries a number of AP news stories, as all papers of any note do.
And several of these stories this AM had to do with McCain and Sarah P. and the financial ‘situation’.
The Sarah P. article had to do with her policies in regard to environmental protection of her hometown when she was mayor.
It is fair in that it discusses both improvements and degradations which occurred either before her incumbency or during her administration.

It is unfair in that it couches the improvements in such a way as to seem accidental or incidental, especially as it mentions her concerns about improving the quality of life of Alaskans as incidental to her obligations as mayor of her city.

Fair and balanced is a joke even when both sides of the picture are shown.

Little wonder why Brit Hume has decided to hang up the mike and camera this fall.
But we still detect a twinkle in his eye when he discusses some of the gives and takes of the world scene.
