That doesn't sound moronic at all to me, it sounds very clever in fact

Just be glad that you have the intellect to notice these sorts of manipulation techniques [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I'm sure you'll agree there's alot of rhetorical crap involved in news bulletins. You have to put on your spin-filtering spectacles every time you read a newspaper. That's the way infotainment works. No big deal [img]smile.gif[/img]
