Well if you call a government sponsored whitewash a "major finding", yeah.

Well, for a European watching any news station in the US, it is amazing

how
little information is actually passed (don't even mention background
information)...


Very True. It is eye opening how much different the News is on BBC, CTV
(Canadian) and other nations than in America. I wonder what it would

actually
take to get unbiassed news?


Wasn't there just a major finding in Britain about how "unbiased" the BBC
news is?

we have our share of biased news up here in Canada as well. I can live
with that and you usually know. Every country has less and more biased
news. Where I would draw a line is on the faked news. Whether it is
WMD's or the Christmas turkey ;-)

cheers

I liked the one where, after a single engine airplane crash, the
reporter authoritatively stated that the NTSB was searching for the
"black boxes". I too prefer reporters to report the news - and not to
make it up.

Absolutely! After all of those Afghans and Iraqis hijacked those planes
and turned them into weapons of mass destruction, we were reluctantly
forced to invade their countries, so they would never be tempted to mess
with us again. We needed to make these people behave properly, like our
good friends, the Saudi Arabians. What is it with you America haters?


But IIRC they were neither Afghans not Iraqis, although they may have been
sponsored and trained by Al Quaida which is (or was) mainly in Afghanistan,
they were ... Saudi Arabians !
