Real Information
Our local paper, the Sacramento Bee, has an excellent series of articles running on environmental issues. It is one of the very few analysis I've ever seen by mainsteam media that actually understands that EVERYONE is out to make money, including the so-called "environmental" groups. It is well worth looking at if you're interested in such things... go to www.sacbee.com/news/projects/environment

RE: Real Information
The Bee should know. McClatchy's flagship paper. Laying off; apparently not enough profits. Also, offering up to four months off, unpaid, as a cutback at Mpls Star Tribune. Sure, everyone's in it for a buck!!

RE: Real Information
Please don't get me wrong...I wasn't suggesting that the Bee wouldn't print any inaccuarcies: quite the contrary...I was surprised they would admit that many of the "environmental" groups only report the "facts" that will help them, distorting the real story...many of the ebvironmental groups are "for profit" corporations in disguise...

RE: Real Information
No, wanderer, I'm not slamming the reporting. Haven't looked at yet and I'm sure it's probably very good.

Just slamming McClatchy. There's a lot of newspaper layoffs going on these days and I just read McClatchy joined the throngs. Makes me wonder how my friend at the Star Tribune is doing...........

I don't know if Anchorage has one or two papers, but I know McClatchy also owns an Anchorage paper. FWIW...

RE: Real Information
I think I'm the only "Wanderer"...but I am often a space cadet & don't pay attention to whether I'm capitalizing or not...I could've posted both ways...

RE: Real Information
Yes, I read the series.

I was amazed the Bee published them given their track record on environmental issues.
