[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1852724, member: 42463"] We were talking about that today with visitors. They said the border videos of people crossing are inflated, that there aren't near the numbers that the news would have us believe. And I've seen similar stuff driving through places where the news has said is a disaster zone... and really don't see much damage. Now I'm not saying it's not out there, but knowing the television business is to promote advertising, and the way they cultivate advertisers is to grow an audience, and the way they get a bigger audience is to sensationalize because we are dumb enough to go for the exaggerated... I would not be surprised if a lot of what we see is in reality a tenth of what the "news" would have us think. [/QUOTE]
