ANDIEZ The Beach is Calling and We Must Go Poster
Autarkis,
I will do more looking into The Project. As I said, I really did not know anything about them before. Just because a person shares some of my views dos not mean I agree with them.
My issue with most media these days is finding out what they leave out of the news. Sometimes, what they simply misrepresent. An example comes to mind. When the debate over the impending sunset of the �assault� weapons ban was coming up a government report came out that stated clearly the ban had no effect on crime rates that they were aware of. Now that was one line in a lengthy report, so people were able to pick other things out of it to paraphrase in a way to prove all sorts of points. Obtaining a copy of the report was not hard, it was not even that hard to read. From there I was able to look at the news in a different light. I was amazed at what they left out. So my skepticism of all news continues (all news includes Fox, yes). So I am looking for other ways to get it. The best way I have seen is to read a few of them and try to average them out. I even read Al-Jazeera. It pisses me off, but I read it anyway.

Big K: I prefer primary sources myself and recognise reporting can be stilted horribly. One of my hobbies is gaming – computer, video and back in my youth even a geeky thing called D&D. If you’re in Engineering school you probably have run across folks familiar with it to say the least. The media coverage of roleplaying in the 80’s was all shock and horror with folks in the Religious Right feeding a credulous press all kinds of nonsense. We’re seeing the same thing all over again with videogames today. ANDIEZ The Beach is Calling and We Must Go Poster
Luckily for roleplaying, cooler heads and scientific studies proved the hobby the harmless diversion that fans always knew it was and the press moved on to sensationalizing something else. That hasn’t happened yet where videogames are concerned but it’s an inevitable part of the cultural cycle dating back to Elvis first shaking his hips.
So, even though I’m probably close to the opposite end of the cultural spectrum from you, I’ve my own reasons to be skeptical about mainstream reporting. I also read broadly though it’s been quite a while since I’ve taken a look at al-Jazeera. I have to congratulate you on that.
Just because I have reason to mistrust The Project doesn’t mean you won’t end up agreeing with them yourself. If you do already it’s likely because of arguments already put forth by this Administration which has adopted those views in whole. It led to The Bush Doctrine and the invasion of Iraq. It would be very easy of me to have had some fun with you for not knowing who The Project For A New American century is considering how central they are to what’s going on right now and almost every debate we’re having in this country. Neoconservativism goes beyond foreign policy…
