The names matter. They really do.

Ask you friend if it was "political" that USA Today this morning had all the names and faces of the people who died this month.

Then ask her what the difference is.

Actually, i asked her what the difference was between Nightline "creating its own events" and the Today Show creating its own events (Al Roker traveling the US and giving a charity a bunch of stuff each day and reporting on it). She didn't consider the Today Show to be a "real news show". *sigh* Yeah, like any of those news shows are real news shows, nightline included. Nightline makes an agenda and presents it, it doesn't just rattle the news out there.

She tends to be on the conservative side of things... I tend to straddle the fence. But you know, everyone has a political agenda, no matter who you are. There will always be "spin" put on things.

I would have gotten into a more thorough discussion with her, but she told me she had work to do. *sigh*
