Yes, the US press does give us a bad name. It doesn't represent all of us. I think many of them are running scared, as more and more people go to alternative sources for news. We get tired of the hopelessness that is constantly presented no matter how wonderful the event. No wonder the ads supporting the news Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-1132245085007720672005-11-17T08:31:00.000-08:002005-11-17T08:31:00.000-08:00The abc news article made me very angry!

That is why I do not watch american news, it is no longer about reporting the facts but reporting their beliefs which is biased and that isnt what the news is about.

I think there was an article on Vision Forum about that.
