I'm a Libertarian living in Humboldt County, CA. I've lived here in Eureka since 1973 and joined the Libertarian Party in 1992. This blog will mostly focus on local political issues, but I may stray into state and national issues as well, when I can't help myself.

The Agitator's, Radley Balko, co- authored this Reason Online article that takes a look at some of Time magazine's more hysterical cover stories over the years.

I've just scanned the article briefly. I have saved the link and I plan to read the article word-for-word later today.
How well I remember the scare story about the Crack Babies! I was a social worker at the time and I was completely taken in by it. After crying uncounted numbers of tears over these poor children, the innocent victims of the most terrible drug yet invented, I spoke with other social workers, who dried my tears and told me Time Magazine had wildly exaggerated the risks to the children.
That may have been the first of the many nails in the coffin of my faith in the Main Stream Media.
Thanks for providing the link.
We Americans are being led around by the nose like compliant cattle and it is the MSM that is doing it.
