"Self-promotion isn't the problem; the problem is the promotion of agendas that may be at odds with the truth.Jessica Rowe and crew went out to East Timor with a story to tell - rather than coming back with a story to tell."

Yup - probably. But I bet it was done in the interest of getting a "story" to tell that would benefit the newsgroup that sent them out there in the 1st place. If that newsgroup has a political agenda, then it's probably because the newsgroup is aimed at a specific political group, and the advertisers that back them. And if the advertisers are satisfied, the the money keeps rolling in, and the profits grow, so the share-holders are satisfied as their stake increases in value.....

That's life sigh.

Never believe anything that's written in newspapers/shown on TV - it's all biased....except for the bits that aren't.

It's trying to tell those who "have an agenda" from those who don't that's the VERY difficult part.
