Trust me, Buccs. She could tell you about her background, but then she'd have to kill you.

LOL! You're saying this to someone who has been accused of wearing a tinfoil hat! What I'm really trying to suggest is that you probably shouldn't dismiss something for no reason other than it appears on a blog. Internet blogs are inheriting (or perhaps wrestling away) the mantle of true journalism from traditional media outlets. It's time to sell your horse and buggy old man! smile

The title bar that comes up when you access the article and the page finally loads is "Security Theater of the Absurd: TSA Takes Baby Away from Mother." This sensationalizing is hardly indicative of a desire for the consideration or expression of more than one side of an issue.

For the record, I agree with Hrothgar's last post. Go take a look at both threads and see if the same standard has been applied to both. It most certainly has not. People believe what they want to believe.

Ah, but its a blog with a good reputation and has been very successful in helping consumers obtain fairness from companies and other entities. Don't slam The Consumerist unless you really know something about it, GD. All blogs are not equal.

You're contradicting yourself concerning your thoughts on blogs.

Are the reputible or no? Are they equal? Are they the purest form of journalism?

Please make up your mind.

No, I don't think I am. You see, I have the ability to see things outside the categories of either black or white.

Here, let me spell it out simply so you won't have to actually use your brain, Doc.

1. Just because it's in a blog doesn't mean it's not true.
2. Just because it's in the traditional media means it is true.
3. You have to use your own intellect to determine which is true and which is not true.
4. Some blogs are a very reliable source of information.
5. Some blogs are not a very reliable source of information.
6. Some traditional media outlets are a very reliable source of information.
7. Some traditional media outlets are not a very reliable source of information.
8. Sometime reliable sources of information are nevertheless [sometimes] wrong.
9. Refer to back to Number 3.

Then why have the policies. The mom's perceptions may be off, or this particular officer did not follow proper protocol. No way to know for sure based on the info we have, so perhaps we shouldn't jump down either the mother or officer's throats or jump to support either of them.

Straw, don't you know? The policies are only there to keep the public at bay, but it's up to the agent to subjectively decide whether or not to follow the policy because they are just trying to do their job.

No, because after I said we shouldn't believe everything we read in internet blogs, your repond with:

Then: All blogs are not equal.

So apparently those of us that say it's a blog and perhaps isn't a trustworthy source DO actually have a point.

Do you guys ever get tired of fighting?

What ever happened to "make love not war"?

You are entertaining to a degree and passionate that's for certain. Bad?...no.....predictable...YES! wink
