That doesn't particularly matter either :).  Open source shit is found to be
broken often.  Patches just happen to come out quickly.  And compromised
data is compromised data.

And thus begins age old bickering, conspiracy bits, etc etc etc (I believe
Eric mentions Baldwin as NWO foaming-at-the-mouther).  Scream all ya want,

Craig Wolf:
>> media bias

I'd seriously suggest looking at:

http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1001/campaign-media

and

http://people-press.org/report/463/media-wants-obama

While the conclusions they come to is incredibly debatable, the raw figures
are extremely interesting (and can easily be viewed as support for bias
rather than the cycle/pattern they discuss... both are plausible).  I won't
summarize, reading for yourself is best :)
