1.  Perhaps this President will have a point to make to the mediawhores
tonight, who really are the ones who shape this nation's opinions,
whether we like it or not, and whether we want it or not.

Sure, it would be great to have a media that no longer can make or break a politician,
or an issue, or incites the public to being at each other's throat.

I too wish for a media that can't get away with generating support for a war that didn't have to happen, and instead who reports the news as it should be reported.....because if we had such,
we wouldn't be in close to the mess that we are in.

That being said, the Huffington Post too is guilty of a whole lot
that this article complaints about, as it too publishes hyperbole headlines,
concentrates too much oftentime on the insignifant made relevant by them following the news pack,
and printing dumb stories that shouldn't see the light of day anywhere.

So yeah....there are a lot of serious issues going on out there,
but then, there have always been, including long before this dinner.
In fact, what is true today is true of all of the dinners going back quite a ways.
