"Here we have a clear demonstration of the problem our country faces - when are facts, facts
and atruthful representation of objective reality, or
should we resign ourselves to the notion that we live in a
post-modern world, which includes permissible 'rejection of truth as correspondence to reality'!"

“The changes promised by government as a result of the story are a testament to the power
and value of the best kind of journalism, of which this is most exemplary.”
