While the press does, at times, present relevent stories, the press seems unaware that readers are well to very well educated and do not need factual accounts filtered. Editirial pages are for comments, news articles should be plain FACT, without the Editors ideas thrown in.

Wow! For a guy from Spain, he writes in great English. I can't believe he is from Spain. Usually they can't even speak well, and they even lisp like they do in their variety of Spanish. They say /maithith/ for Macy's, the department store.
