I had a pretty bad start the first time I saw a Russian helicopter flying near Crestview in the north county.

isn’t that the truth? the author of that article says that hypercompetitiveness of the media leads them to factcheck each other, but what we’ve really seen is that [1] hype is the operative word, and [2] the hypercompetitiveness only leads them to top each others’ stories in sensationalsim, rather than in facts.

it’s true that ordinary citizens seemed to have not noticed the lite-brites, and that bloggers were quick to out them as harmless, but between the homeland security-itis of the law and the completely uncritical eye [and minds] of the media, this country could easily be stampeded into thinking [just as an example] that iran is sending nukes our way and we’ve only got a few more minutes to live.

aliens from outer space, otoh… only a few crackpots in nw florida would believe that.
