1. The Media vs. The War on Terror
   This is an in-depth report on how the Dominant Press (i.e. MSM) has used their position to steer public opinion their way. For example, “ABC, CBS and NBC heavily favored critics of the Patriot Act. Of 23 soundbites from “experts” (such as law professors or ex-FBI agents), 61 percent faulted the law as a threat to privacy rights. Of 19 soundbites from ordinary citizens, every one condemned the Patriot Act, despite polls showing most Americans support the Patriot Act and believe it has prevented new acts of terrorism.” You might want to link this up.

5. Christian Bands Now A Crossover Miracle
   Really the whole segregation is broken. While every other genre of music is based on the musical sound of an artist, Christian music is “set apart” because of the content of it’s lyrics. I think that’s unfortunate.
