CONNECTING THE DOTS VS PARANOIA

Connecting the dots

Paranoia

If you want to understand the nature of today's news media, you should know that the NY Times afforded the latter group a "respectful hearing" and referred to them as "skeptics and scientists."

And this discusses how the media consciously witholds or downplays pertinent information that might help the public connect the dots.

In other words, the MSM would seem to be eagerly-- and almost affectionately-- promoting paranoid conspiracy theories about the Bush Administration and 9/11 (page 1 of the Times Metro section); while simultaneously downplaying and distorting ("a broad strata of society") the Islamist connection.
