Check your sources: NYT or "Tyler Durden"

Hi Iceman and Greys,

I think it can be said of most people that the view they "news" through their own lens of bias......even me.

I do note that it is not only Tyler Durden writing. But the editor can to choose whom to publish..... I was just issuing a caveat before I reprinted anything from the Times. Yes, over the years I have beens friends with two NYT people and I can only say I respected them and at least know them in person. Can't say that about Zero Hedge, which I do read when you (Iceman) or someone else I respect, posts it.

I totally agree with Greys about the importance of listening to many sides. The media on every side are in a position to issue propaganda. Heck, I remember long ago, the NYT was considered somewhat moderate. I will say, as a student of history, that there is nothing new under the sun though the tools of communication today are frightening and as polarizing as ever. At least we have the ability (at the moment) to go in any direction our brains lead us. Which brings me to my last comment. Today I learned of several sightings of various sized Pythons in my "hood." At last, something I can act on in my tiny garden and influence! I had my machete sharpened a few hours ago. When the dogs and I visit the yard, I know whose side I am on and my blade will go snicker snack. I wish I had such certainty in other areas. Have a great rest of the day. With regards always, Miami
