But if people are strident enough, and there's no shame in a bald-faced 
lie, all you get is argument.

The "objective" press may be a recent development, but I think it's

mainstream media will smother alternative points of view (good luck!), 
but that all commercial media will adopt the journalistic standards of 
a Jack Chick comic.
