I think one has to be a little careful as to the validity of what we see and hear through any form of the media, be it the Washington Post, Time, Fox news, MSNBC, Oliver Stone movies, or rags like the National Enquirer. Their stories are often based on fact but filled with opinions, prejudice, and changes to make them more entertaining and sellable. We saw "Fair Game" this afternoon and found it very interesting. Naomi Watts and Sean Penn are excellent actors and the story was compelling and fascinating. If your politics are such that you either refuse to see it or go to it with the preconceived notion that you will hate it because it's produced by those "flaming liberals" in Hollywood, then you probably won't believe a word of it and will hate it. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all be open minded and explore the facts from both sides of the aisle before we come to conclusions.
