The Anchoress has returned and I find her latest post echoing a feeling I have had for some time now about the daily news.

As I said, nothing has changed. All the stories are the same, we can simply re-file them and change the dates. It almost feels like the press and the whole world are in a holding pattern - there is no news, there are only re-framed, re-worked narratives - until George W. Bush gets out of office and the new narratives are permitted to form.

If memory serves me correctly, I recently mentioned to a friend how difficult it is to find news where real sources are actually the subject of an article.

That fact in and of itself leads me away from the “major news sources” to those who fisk those columns and articles and ferret out all the inconsistencies and half-truths.

I for one am just plain tired of all the negativity spewed daily by the press especially about leaders of this country on both sides of the aisle.

We have our problems yes, but the pictures painted repeatedly in the press make the leaders in this country look like bumbling fools..that really helps with that “world image” thing we hear about so often, don’t you think?

I suppose for now I will continue to search for the few items that come straight from the “horses mouth.” Sadly, at least for me, that is becoming increasingly difficult.
