Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending TIME or LIFE, but ...

You can hardly rebut a point made by another poster through simple
name-calling or slandering.  (Even of his or her sources.)  I thought
that might be the one thing learned here from the recent posting by the
author (about the US invasion of Panama) who could only yell "Hey pal!"
and "Fuck you."  It appears nothing was learned by some of the readers
of this group.  (BTW, LIFE and TIME may be poor sources, but at least
they are real sources.  Citing unnamed "media watch groups" is like
citing "some real smart guy that you should listen to," without telling
us who he is or what his credentials are.  Appeals to athority are weak;
appeals to nameless athority are lifeless.)
