Instapundit talks about failure. I think there was also success, on the pages of the New Orleans local paper, Times-Picayune. However, my general disappointment with the press continues.

The real source of my problems is that I cannot get sufficiently reliable sources of information without spending too much time.

The fact that governments suck is trivial. Everybody knows not to trust them too much. But the media suck even more spectacularly, in some ways.

The fact that media is unrealiable is also trivial.

It is not trivial to all. The press is often (too often) trusted more than it deserves.
