I should have put opinion tags around the second sentence. The media is going to determine the segment they report things under. And the order in which they are reported. Period. Otherwise we get just an alphabetical listing of news stories. While that might be fine for some web pages, a 30min broadcast show can't do that. You know as well as I that there is no such thing as truth. Only perception. A good reporter may try to write what actually happened, but their perceptions are tainted, no matter how much they try to cleanse those stories of perceptions, they will never be 100% "true". So to me, Trump blathering on about running indy, should belong in entertainment news, as it looks like he's just trying to get more airtime.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
