What!?! Someone is trusting printed news papers? Although this can sound very paranoid, the fact is, The online news hack idea is nothing new, when you consider that news paper editors have been putting their own slant on what and how their version of "news" is reported. And, this is not new, as we see this done in "history" books that are read in the public schools. I do agree with Kevin, that we as a society need a reliable source unbiased news. It is a shame, that we can no longer trust the internet to help us find it.
