Great, now you just need to get rid of Fox and CNN and you might actually get some real news without some buffoon telling you what to think.

I'd cheer more if they went under.

I'll take your word for it. For the record our own BBC isnt that much better in terms of censorship, but at least they dont try to spoon feed us their opinions quite so much.

Our news media rarely censors anything but they'll almost always tell you how you should view it.

Not so much censorship, but bias in form of selective journalism, like when several thousand military personel and veterans marched on Washington DC in support off Ron Paul a while back, of course nobody covers it because he was the 'unpopular' candidate.
That kind of thing, would have been fine if there were bigger GOP related stories to cover on the particular day, but there were not.
Its not that everything they report is a lie by any means, but you know how it is, best swallowed with pinch of salt and all that.

Who told you that it wasn't covered JU? This was last winter, right? Maybe the news didn't reach England but I definitely remember hearing about it from several local media sources at the time.

Maybe it didn't make the big splash you think it should have because it was not the thousands that you claim but rather just a few hundred. That's ain't very impressive by Washington standards.

I agree, and that includes claims by Ron Paul supporters apparently!
