One other major ‘quirk’ of the Media, is the selective ‘file photos’ used with stories. The recent victory of the Conservative winning the election in France, was accompanied with a file photo of ‘widespread Rioting’. This appeared in the Albuquerque Journal (Homie’ of the New York times and La-La times). Up until then we never saw in our local media, any indication of the common nightly riots in France. Of course you have to realise the voting base of the left in NM is near the bottom of the nation in ‘literacy’, pictures are very effective. The internet was our real source of information and will be more so as the News gets more and more biased.
