It makes your point, which is well taken.<br /><br />The best line I’ve heard is: What if Canada or Mexico fired 60 rockets into the US?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411958894593823280.post-54160199848732221152014-03-14T09:57:37.445+02:002014-03-14T09:57:37.445+02:00Al Jazerra America covered it.

I’ve grown increasingly disenchanted CNN and most of the other U.S. news networks, with the exception of PBS and NPR. They’re all adopting the FOX News approach which is aimed at reinforcing the pre-existing opinions of their audience or posting salacious videos. Facts just get in the way. No thinking or analysis required. Al Jazerra America seems like a throw-back to the hard, factual news we had in the sixties and seventies, the kind we used to get from network anchors like Walter Cronkite.

Not covered by ANY networks here. I only found out about it from Twitter. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
