1. Thanks, that was worth the click-through
I normally don't like youtube links, but since you offered a brief explanation of what I was clicking into, I went for it :D

5. I know..a brief explanation
is sometimes all one needs.

I think it's pricelessly accurate..like someone said.."all they had to do was write the title", the media took care of the content(seems everything in there was heard on tv from the US "media").

Oh can watch their own Puppet Show when they are a home -- their reruns will look just this way.

10. I got the title wrong in the OP..it's more specifically
titled "How Dummies Report the Gulf Oil Crisis"..silly me I thought it was an excellent analysis on the whole spectrum of "news reporting".

If I ever send an email to tweety or anyone who this describes..I will be sure and include the link.

12.  This should be required viewing for the "media"
..this was patterned after.. give them a real sense of how they come across to the public since they obviously don't have a farking clue. :)
