RE: Mozaffar’s question regarding the media

Emir Mozaffar, you are correct in asserting that the  media’s only true responsibility is to make its parent company as much money as possible.  This is why we have lunatics such as Keith Oberann, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity entertaining us on a nightly basis.  However, these media outlets have to be aware that if they continue to offer biased, invalid coverage, they lose credibility as a news source.  Theoretically they will then lose viewership and eventually money.   Media moguls are well aware of this fact and that is why the outrageous ‘news’ reporters are often times mixed in with the true news coverage.  It can only be assumed that the American public would rather be entertained than informed.   Rumsfeld does not have much faith in the American public. 

Rumsfeld would also like to take the time to congratulate Firebird on figuring out how to blog.  The system is actually quite easy to use once you experience it a couple times.

God Bless America!
