re: #2 Bobibutu
And thank you for not getting defensive or angry.
The Examiner doesn’t seem to have very high standards. This past summer, one of their contributors ran with a wild story about the supposed seizure of two Texas ranches by the Mexican Los Zetas drug cartel. It was quickly debunked. Then in September, they published a story by a guy who was touting the writings of creationists in his article about how the Grand Canyon is supposedly direct evidence of the Biblical flood.
Now I automatically disregard anything they publish as either being inaccurate or extremely slanted.
