With all  due respect Dr. Mattox, what you hear from the press will vary
with where  the hearing is coming from.  I have no doubt that Fox or some
other  right-leaning rag can be found with reports that support your
assertions,  just as there are an equal number of middle or left-leaning
rags spouting  entirely different stories.  All *people* are biased (lets
face it, it  impossible *not* to be "biased" - it's a pre-programmed
-survival skill-),  so it follows that all of the various news and
other "entertainment"  outlets are "biased" as well.  That said, I know
many persons in the  region, and have had conflicting *personal reports*.
It's likely impossible  to actually make a factual determination as to what
is or is not "the  reaction" of the general populace - attempting to argue
from any position  that relies on such a supposition is inherently  faulty.

I am in TOTAL agreement with this statement.  That is why I read the  papers 
coming from known and different cultures and backgrounds.
