I think each of you that disagree (and you have the right to do so, make no mistake) should consider your own personal opinions, and how they affect the way you read the article.

Well of course people's reaction to the article will be influenced by their personal standpoint. Just as Ms Basham's reaction to the quotes from the cast and crew is influenced by her personal standpoint. The difference is that I am not criticising her for not sharing my views. I respect her right to her beliefs. Rather, I am criticising her for not according the same respect to the cast and crew and for presuming that they should share her outlook on life.

Every story, and everything contained therein, means something different to different people. And I think Megan Bashem needs to recognize that or she won't succeed at journalism for very long.

I don't know about that,
Saraphim. Is it not the very essence of journalism to use what others say to further one's own personal (or corporate) agenda?
