I think this isn't supposed to be leading to a political debate here, so I'm only going to say that I found the first item quite interesting because I do believe that today's media influences the news in many cases. And, where the media doesn't actually influence it, it still does influence what we know and don't know, our positions on a great number of things, and what we prioritize as having greater personal or over-all importance.
I love the tennis ball piece. Tennis balls are used on the bottom of the legs (the feet) of my father's walker and I have always used them in the dryer with blankets, jackets, comforters, and over-sized sheets. I have actually stuck one on my car's radio antenna to assist me in locating the car in a crowded parking area. I have stuffed some (whole or cut in half) into shoes and boots to help hold their shape and, yes, a couple of them into pocketbooks that are being stored to keep them from flattening out where the outside surface may start splitting or cracking. I got a kick out of some of the other suggestions I read, so I might use tennis balls for even more things.

No, I didn't see it. But, now I have seen it. Jeepers! I don't even know what to say or where to begin! All I know is, I am sure glad I went to your page to see it! (Aside from the media itself, don't you think that "spokespersons" of any kind can and do tweak and shroud the truth as needed? It's all just a little too much for me to stomach sometimes.)
Yes they do. And I am glad these past months that the media spokespersons have "opened up" more are speaking in different ways than before. (Propaganda Puppets=Press)
