... in response to Media knowledge of PenPals, posted by FilipinaCupid on Sep 19, 2001Hi Jean,
The most striking example of skewed perceptions vs. reality that I found was that most Filipinas assumed that nearly all Americans loved Bill Clinton, because of the liberal bias in the media. Sally was shocked when I told her I considered Clinton a dishonest demagogue without character or conscience. She thought his only flaw was in his philandering. I told her I considered the man dangerous to our country, given that he had neglected and abused the military and politicized the FBI and Justice Department.
Glad to see that Jerry is out of the dog house
) I hope all is well now with whatever the situation came to be. My warning to Jerry about Huma was sincere, although phrased with humor. Huma can be over-zealous and rude at times, but IMO his point of view should not be discounted and this board can benefit from it. I hope he sticks around too because he cracks me up!
Cheers,
Jim
