BBC World News America pissed me off today...
I was so agitated by their 'coverage' of the recent Dem debate, that I could actually feel my blood pressure rise. I swear I could have thrown something through the damn Tv!

The entire segment was noting but Clinton and Obamas bullshit bickering, they did not even mention Edwards!!!:mad: I do not find their bitching to be relevant to jack fucking shit; John talked about the real issues and what does CNN do? focus on the fucking drama rather then what matters! What the fuck is wrong with this country??!!

Fuck the MSM!!! I can not stomach their fucking crap at all!!!:mad:

1. It's a BLACK, it's a WOMAN, they're FIGHTING!
That gets much higher ratings than some white guy talking policy and issues. Sad but true.

Hopefully, people who have actually watched the debates and paid attention are as impressed by Edwards as a great many of us here are. This is serious business, not entertainment, despite the media's efforts to make it otherwise.

3. Both Guilliani and Clinton went to Britain to raise funds
The British news is controlled by the BBC. They only report what the Queen (royals and elites) want us to know.

Who is on our CSPAN free and on our cable dollar? The British government. We can't vote there and they can't vote here. The elite use it for propaganda.

Who helped Bush lie about WMD in Iraq? Tony Blair. Remember the Downing Documents? Tony and George planned the attack on Iraq BEFORE 911. The British people are losing their rights and democracy just like us from "terrorism".

It's a bunch of elites from here (Republican Neo Cons) and European (royals) who want their power back over America. They don't want democracy. They want to rule the world from behind closed doors.

9. I listen to BBC World Service on the radio sometimes.
They are mostly pretty good, especially for international affairs, but they don't get a lot of the nuances of American politics. For instance, they often say "Democrat Party" instead of Democratic. :mad:

I don't think the reporters know it's an insult, I think they have just heard the president and other Repubs say it so many times, they assumed it was correct.
