"BTIZ" wrote in message news:z6pxc.5042 what the media needs is educated people... a degree in journalism means they learn how to write and keep the readers attention... it does not mean they know what they are writing about. BINGO! This is the most accurate assessment of the media I've heard in a long time. In fact, I have a degree in journalism with a science minor BECAUSE of this. The head of the OSU college of journalism (two-time Pulitzer winner Jon Franklin) required all students to earn science or technical minors because, he said, of the urgent need for science-minded journalists. To be fair, they learn about ethics, law, media history and our taught RIGIDLY to report accurately to the best of their ability. (You would fail a final exam, for example, by a single misspelling of a name.) It's journalists such as those you describe who are responsible for the regular rounds of killer bee scares, bigfoot and UFO stories, the Alar scare, comets coming to kill us... -c
