The print media often claims that its purpose is to provide information to the citizens. Does anyone believe this?

The Bee recently sued to obtain pension information on Stan County retired employees. Public employee are also citizens. Who agrees this information should be public information?

Since the print media has the ability to decide elections, sway peoples oppinions, and choose which facts it puts in a story or leaves out, should'nt they provide the salaries of all its staff and employees?

If the  print media were concerned about quality factual reporting, all papers would be free. If the goal of papers is to inform the public of what is occuring, then all papers should be free. The cost of making papers would be paid for by Ads.

Thank goodness he is expected to survive so he can be figured out and this won't happen again. Is heavy marijuana use the cause of his abnormal behavior?

Fort Hood suspect said methodical goodbyes - As if going off to war, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan cleaned out his apartment, gave leftover frozen broccoli to one neighbor and called another to thank him for his friendship - common courtesies and routines of the departing soldier. Instead, authorities say, he went on the killing spree that left 13 people at Fort Hood Army post dead. [Modesto's Breaking News]

I am 6 months pregnant, and have been advised to get the H1N1 Vaccination by my OB Doctor.

Now, with all of the media surrounding the issue and in turn, basically scaring the heck out of the public - WHY ISN'T THE VACCINATION READILY AVAILABLE??

I'm almost afraid to leave my house for fear of contracting this virus... My OB assumed that they would have it now - I called to check status and..... NOPE! NOthign available and zero information other than to contact the Health Services Agency... The Stanislaus Health Services Agency has a hotline advising callers of a supply becoming available near the END OF NOVEMBER, EARLY DECEMBER. If this is so extremely important for pregnant women to get, where is it?? And why is public information so unreliable? This has become incredibly frustrating for me - and I've got to imagine it being the same for many other women out there.

Does anyone have any information?

If your brain works normally this is neat.
This is another example of an amazing illusion!!! The last sentence is so true.
