My name is Molly and I am an American robin. As I fly over your country, mine too, I see many things. I learned to think by seeing myself in car door mirrors. I am a mother who has had several broods of hatchlings. A fellow wrote about me in Animal Park. He only got half the story right as most people do because you humans think you are not as bad as you really are or not as good as you think you are. The other half I'll have to tell you myself.

Also access to government officials could jeopardize reporting. One of the most important influences of news editing is how society will change, the pace of change regarding the environment, foreign and domestic policies including war, health care, education and the kind of laws that are enacted. Television news inhibits constructive political change with a docile and indifferent focus on government mismanagement and lapses.
