[at-l] The Real Truth About "Lynxgate"

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

I read the paper very thoroughly.  I, also form opinions -- in part, from
what I read.

Then from time to time I think about events, circumstance, or issues of
which I had a good in-depth first-hand knowledge and how inadequate the
press coverage was of them, at the time.  Which in-turn gets me to wondering
how inadequate the press coverage is likely to be for the many many events,
circumstance, or issues of which I had no first-hand knowledge and question
how can I base my opinion on the press coverage and even much less the TV,
Internet, etc.

So I chuckled at Thru-Thinker's "ink blot" analogy and I second his
"precious little on these specific subjects that ANY of us can ever really
'know.'"
