I hope not. He says that's his readership (women of that age). He sounds

like he 'll present it fairly - if so it would be a " first " . In extensive

off list " talks " he sounds ready to be non-biased.

It's so hard to judge the media reporters. I once had a phone interview with one about homeschooling my boys. He was particularly interested in hearing about my oldest who went to school for the first time in 8th grade. I laughingly explained "Oh yes I had to expel him from homeschooling because he was acting out and not doing his work" and sure enough there it was in the article, only printed up as a very serious quote. My son was very upset with me (as I was with myself ) for letting that "quote" slip out.
