They share their opinions. It's the facts that are the problem. I've gone over two major ones, Whitewater and Iraq/Miller, and Jason Blair. Blair can be excused because other publications were doing likewise. Maybe the Times started a trend, who knows. The other two were disasters for the country. Changing the subject, I read that the bird flu is most dangerous to people with a strong immune system. It seems it's the immune system that kills the host as it tries to get rid of the virus. It's not an autoimmune response, just that the immune response is so violent it tears up the body. I have a strong immune system, never get sick. Maybe I'll just say goodbye now.
