SWINE FLU

This is old news but with a twist. I read both the Daily Progress (Charlottesville, VA) AND the Richmond Times Dispatch (Richmond, Va) everyday. One day a few weeks ago I noticed both front pages contained "Swine Flu" headlines.
The Daily Progress reported that there had been 48 confirmed cases in the US and 2 cases reported in Virginia. The article went on to further detail the origins of all cases and the threat to the public. The only downfall was that min-article on page A3 (13 Police Officers executed in Tiajuana) wasn't 'front-page news'.

The Richmond Times Dispatch also contained a Swine-Flue headline. However, their article reported that there had been NO confirmed cases in the US, and that the virus was confined to Mexico. I had to read it twice to be sure. Surely these news papers receive the same news feed from the AP, so someone had to interject some personal opinion or view into public news.
Makes you think, how many news articles are edited to portray a hidden agenda. Just be warned that no one news source will provide 100% accurate information. The only way to achieve 100% of the story is to compile all the news articles from all sides and allow the reader the ability to judge the truth for themselves.

Nobody wants to hear the opinions of others, so we'll post all the 'facts' and let you decide whats true and whats A FAR CRY FROM THE TRUTH.

Thanks Again for reading,

Off The Grid
