Thanks Don.  You flagged me that last time when I used your name.  I will not use your last name, (I don't remember it right now anyway)   I hope it will make me friendlier toward you and you toward me.   I would guess your sarcasm (a sign of intelligence to me), would be taken better in speech than it comes across in writing.

I was screwed by a very good Des Moines Register who liked to edit my letters to make my comments seem far more agitating than I meant them to be.  Newspapers love a controversy and will manipulate words to make people a target.   Same thing happened to my wife in her work when she lived in California.

The trick is to know this and not give them anything to use against you.   You have my sympathy on this one.    

But let's not leave out Rush Limbaugh and much of conservative talk radio.   It's one thing to catch bias in the media you don't like.  It's, another story to see bias in  those we agree with.
