I haven't really gotten into the outsourcing debate, but I basically favor free trade. In fact, my objections would only be towards the universality of some claims...I always look towards the exception whenever I hear an "always." I haven't posted on that subject because I haven't made a clear case on that yet.
As far as Israel is concerned, how in the world could you read my posts and see me as swallowing anti-Israel news reports hook line and sinker. :-)
I read/listen to/watch every news report critically. I certainly don't think everything I hear on NPR is right. If I did, I'd be just another dittohead. :-)

I didn't mean you as a specific, or those two examples. Serious, just grabbed them at random; an internal and external topic.
But, are you saying you have never read an oil story that was mostly wrong about the important facts? Not NPR, anywhere.
