Well, american news media is just one thing, that 2-party system is more severe, from the medieval times. On the other hand, that is the major job of Bush, pick up those left behind, every kid.

>>>as I said before, it seems your biggest issue is with the American news media<<< I have many concerns. Yes, the way the media is reporting this war is one of them. >>>do you only take issue with the American news coverage or other countries as well? Iraqi news coverage?<<< I take issue when an obvious and clear story is repressed. I've seen this happen twice: a) The British intelligence dossier that was plagerized; and, b) The US spying on the homes and offices of UN Security Council members. I also believe the American media is too quick to give the government what it wants, this in the hopes that it'll get a scoop over its competition. I also believe that elements of media ownership have bought into waging the war, and this trickles down to reporters and news directors who wish to trickle up. >>>the general belief is the American news media has a more liberal than conservative slant<<< The GOPwinger strategy was twofold: a) accuse the mainstream media of being bias; b) buy up as much of it as possible in order to inject a conservative slant.
