Re: [DML] what an outrage!!!

Jonas,

I agree that too many "opinions" make it into print as "fact." In the 
US we do not teach people to question whether a statement is an 
"opinion" or a "fact" based on statistical sampling, scientific method 
or a measurement against and established (and hopefully meaningful) 
standard.

This fact has lead to the Supreme court to issue the "Douber" rule 
regarding "opinions" and "experts." Too bad the media doesn't follow 
the same test. As a reporter state to me once

"we are not in the business to tell the truth, but to sell newspapers!"
