BTW, are we really this needy and insecure that we have to post everytime some national publications says something "nice" or "good" about Detroit? The only thing I want from the media is for them to be fair, and the cherry on top is when they try to be original. Detroit's been left for dead by the greater society of this nation for decades; the city doesn't need their validation to do anything.

So very true - some act as if Detroit lives or dies by what the national media thinks of us.
