Nothing to do with manipulating and influencing. Is there anyone on the planet that believes that a scribe or talking head can do either these days? That’s why the newsbusiness is increasingly confusing itself with entertainment industry and it may be they’re better at that than news reporting. The press simply reports on what the publisher thinks is “right.” Way too often it’s apparent that’s left. There’s been ample evidence of the perspective of the media. No real need to rehash their collective bias. It’s well recognized.

One must stand somewhere to report on anything. It’s the public’s observation that way too many of the media are standing like lemmings to report their collective POV to an increasingly skeptical reported-to public.

But we digress. Bill’s wont to chain-jerking.

About the repayment issue, I’m prone to think there’s shared guilt here, as GA suggested. While he failed to achieve that which he knew was expected, why would the Navy allow him to persist in failing until it was apparent he could not cross the finish line and now owed a small fortune for receipt of a degree and commission that would not be forthcoming. I’m betting this one may not get to trial.
