Let the readers determine what would be considered Power-Mad or not. I see this entire thing on the level of the Yahoo Blogs that are posted as news articles. No offense. |

Sorry I was too late to edit. One's opinions are biased by default, however an article doesn't have to be. The wording you choose makes it so. |

Well as a writer its my job to provide facts and in this case offer a perspective. If you dislike it, or consider it biased, whether it is or not thats your own established opinion. And thats all an article should do. Help establish your view. |

Again I know someone just referenced Fox News, but I find the similarities rather funny (and to some extend unnerving) of how you so freely mix information and speculation. --- Quote from: Sheath on March 10, 2011, 12:07:03 AM ---...thats all an article should do.
