The Freedom of the Press

Questions raised by PBS and Lowell Bergman on last night's "Frontline":

How has "Deep-Throat" been twisted into "Cut-Throat" by so many of the powerful?
--- Confidential media sources began as a tool to be used for the common good by the press. Decades later they are now by and large a manipulation of the press.

Judith Miller of The New York Times: How much was she played? How much playing did she do? (She has left the Paper of Record since her "85 Days.")
--- Where have you gone, "The New York Times"?

In a large, dark room, why is it more important to reach out than to
keep asking "why am I here?"
--- "You don't need eyes to see..." -- from Lars von Trier's "Dancer in the Dark." Meaning that it is more important to strive than to grasp.
