No.  I work and teach in the real world, a place very different from
the world portrayed by the mainstream press, which has long since
given up attempting to even approximate the truth, preferring instead
to wallow in sensationalism and skew, two things this thread seems to

"Believe none of what you read and only half of what you see," has
never been better advice than it is now.
