Dan, I certainly agree that this is not the forum in any sense for a political debate.? Unfortunately you went on to engage in exactly that.?

"The Media" has destroyed its own worthiness and doesn't need anyone's help.

I have family?living in Sonoma as well and don't really appreciate the directing this conversation has taken, As a retired LEO I have a real issue with people who attack the guardians of our first amendment rights. The media has generally done more to protect our first amendment rights than all wars combined. And I don't say that lightly as both my son's are in the military. My oldest is a Seal and my youngest just graduated from Army Ranger school?at Fort Benning.?

?Attacking the media has always been a popular pastime for certain groups especially conspiracy theorists, Unfortunately, it has graduated to a form of Alt-Right political correctness.? I never thought I would see the day that a news organization?would be relentlessly attacked and labeled?"Fake News" for directly quoting something someone said on live?TV.?

I always thought electronics professionals, as well as hobbyist, were above that sort of nonsense, As such the last place I expected to see this sort of nonsense is here on this forum.?
