Graham, I am deeply sorry that you have been under the illusion that journalists are generally ethical! I need to advise you that this is incorrect. I assure you (first hand too!) that journos have the power to make or break any person. They too are extremely biased and constantly abuse public gullibility. I have seen the destruction and downfall of prominent people all too often - thanks to biased reporting. So Graham, get over it! As for the allegations that Greenpeace rammed the Japanese whaler - hooray! If I wasn't an oldie, I would have offered to assist! Your right wing philosophies are apparent when you attempt to raise a moral issue over the disgusting, sadistic practice of whaling. And as for another post claiming that Greenpeace really aren't attempting to stop whaling for monetary reasons - what tripe. Tell me the name of one Greenpeace member who is making a quid out of this truly amazing and dangerous commitment to protecting the environment?

While industry is polluting the globe and regularly killing off members of all species with governments kowtowing to each other in the name of diplomacy and greed, the rest of the big end of town are attempting to call all those who care, "nutters"!!

At the expense of sounding contradictory, I assure you that not all "nutters" are left wing loonies - they are simply more evolved!
