But that wouldn't be good Journalism would it? Unless, of course, Greeks never did bad things.
Nothing is generally all good or all bad.
As I heard a Native American (although he, as I do, called himself an Indian) on NPR this morning, point out that if there is a stereotype, it's generally bacause some amount of behavior or history helped form it. He was talking about stereotypical Indian drunken street people.
Again, we can't keep simply blaming the media for our bad press. We have to clean up our act so they have nothing to report.
