folks
ya gotta take it from whence it comes, mom always used to say
48 HOURS & the like are the lowest (well almost lowest) form of commercial TV phony journalism - EVERY word & pic is carefully framed to grab the biggest potential share of attention, so the sheep will stay tuned for the commercial
THAT'S IT !!!!!!!
arguing over what those kind of shows should or shouldn't do is like debating whether the old fogies at the coffee shop have the inside scoop on what's going on in Iraq
it isn't even relevant
those of you who are old enough, or culture historians, may remember Will Roger's comments about the kind of folks who believe what they read in the papers (or was that Mark Twain)
anyway - if you want help for CH - get on the Web and start putting in some serious time web searching for LEGITIMATE information sources/exchanges
it's just a tremendous waste of time & msg bd space to go on and on about what's on TV shows
UNLESS it is some serious PBS, well researched show like Nova or the like
