At this point, I just can't believe any news report from any source. Only days after President Bush pleaded with the press to accentuate the positive, the media is up to its old tricks again. At this very moment they're reporting on some fire or other on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Now, as I understand it, California is about the size of Iraq. Surely, there are vast areas of the state that aren't burning. This is where the TV cameras should be trained. The public would much rather see houses that are intact, and people who aren't dispossessed. The media should follow President Bush's request, and learn to look at the bright side of things.
