  Yeah, we went around on this last week. But here's an interesting
  article (ebook!) that addresses perception of facts:

  Not sure where you are trying to take this Bill.    To précis it still further [;-)] there are opinion leaders!

  That in no way addresses questions of accuracy, motivation or analytical ability.   Far less whether information is slanted or 'managed'.   While ad hominen arguments are often diversions, it is still important to be aware of the links between the message and its source.

  I have no opinion about the success of the Kindle, but I find the way Amazon is handling the information strange, to say the least.
