Off topic but irresistable:  Right now (8:30 p.m. EST, January 24), MSNBC has up a headlined story titled, "Mortgage deal offers little homeowner relief."

Seven inches below on the computer screen, it has the following story, also in headlines, "Deal could help many troubled homeowers."

See for yourself (but you'll need to be quick because these stories change all the time). 

When the mainstream media takes opposite postions at the same time on the same page, you can see why there is room for, ummmm, doubt.
