User talk:Paulrevere2005/Afghanistan opium production keeps skyrocketing while the administration says

An editorial masquerading as a news story. TimShell 03:35, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Agreed, especially just looking at the non-quote in the title. --Comics 04:13, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

not sure what you mean re; "non-quote"..do you mean there should be quotation marks in the title? if so, you are correct,but that was an oversight and nothing more.paulrevere2005


 * What I mean is that I'm not quite sure the administration has been quoted as saying that, so therefore you're showing your personal bias in including that in the title. I'm not exactly pro-Bush myself, but we have to try and remain NPOV here on WikiNews, and I think this article is much closer to an editorial, as Tim said.  Certainly some things news-worth about this article, but not in its current state.--Comics 16:07, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, the white house ran super bowl ads in 2002 with the headline"drugs fund terrorists"and depicting al-queda training camps. I think our citizenry is divided into 3 groups; the "joe public" Bush talks about who care about nothing but making ends meet, the john dean nice guy types who shy away from confronting orwellian logic simply because its hard to confront, and the michael moores who confront the nonsense and lay it out for people to think about. we need more of type 3, in my opinionpaulrevere2005
