| One of the big problems with the media today, I have come to understand from listening to media analysts, is that although they do check before a story is printed or presented, they check WITH EACH OTHER rather than the people involved. I have heard this from various sources over and over. This has been, apparently, a huge problem in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Anyway, my heart goes out to the families of the miners. It's interesting to hear the reports about their slow, peaceful deaths. Those notes that they were able to write were meaningful for the families left behind, I would have to believe.
