Mr. Tucker illustrates one of the two major faults of our press. His point is the ignorance of reporters in all media. That is true. Older workers have more experience, knowledge and discretion. Youngsters are interested only in the moment. They care not a whit for consequences or lives ruined. They care only about me and now.

The second flaw is that the press is no longer free. There is no competing ideology in any of the mass media. If we want to know about the environment we ask Al Gore not a scientist. If we want to know what President Bush thinks we ask Ted Kennedy or Jean Jacques Kerry, not President Bush.

So as long as the MSM marches in lock goosestep with the liberal ideological beat, it is irrelevant. Completely and utterly irrelevant.

p>Let's hope the MSM powers that be never figure that out. br> -- Jason Brutus Kane br> Palm Beach, Florida /p> p> Tucker's article is generally well argued and properly nails the sensationalist media. One weakness, however, is his theory of JonBenet being murdered by her mom upon discovery that the father was sexually abusing his daughter. If Karr has been eliminated as a suspect by DNA testing, and since the parents were prime suspects, the obvious question is whether or not DNA testing includes or excludes dad. It seems that avenue would have been pursued already. br> -- Steve Bauer
