#1 Don't export British jounalistic (?) crap to the U.S. We don't need it. We have plenty of our own lying journalistic traitors.

#2 Why should the British journalists be any more competent or less prejudiced than Americans?

#3 Only the left wing papers are anti Israel or US.Most people on the street fall in to two categories A]They think the poor old Paelos are being bullied by the Israelis mostly out of ignorance/apathy and not knowing what Hamas stands for!!!!!

B]People like me who study the middle east and are aware that giving Gaza back gave them an opportunity to improve their lives and prove to the world they wanted peace/progress but instead chose violence and anarchy!!!!

Unfortnately A is the majority as most are uninterested/ignorant about Gaza/West Bank!!!!

#4 RWV: Why should the British journalists be any more competent or less prejudiced than Americans?

What I find amusing is that American journalists and many leftists share the views of their British journalist counterparts about Americans.

#5 What I remembere reading a couple of years ago (here, I think) was an opinion that journalists were the new "Inquisition", searching for perfection with religious fervor. I guess this means that servants of the state (military and police, for example)are heald to extraordinary high standards - perfection. The same thing with western democracies - be perfect or die.

Seems like that what we're up against.

#6 I have a Doctorate of "Journalistic Jihad" and the Brits win hands down in the anti-USA dept.

They are *self avowed Haters of Bush and anyone, anything, any hint @ Americana.

/*self avowed.. had a commie professor who hated that term. ;-)

#7 On a semi-related note on the BBC via Instapundit:

SCIENTOLOGY: A uniter, not a divider! At least, they managed to get Johnathan Pearce to sympathize with a BBC reporter. No small feat, that. And an amusing line from the comments: "It seemed to me that on one side you had representatives of a fanatical cult trying to foist its views on the rest of the world and on the other... the Church of Scientology."

#8 As this article goes to print, the British National Union of Journalists' magazine has circulated to its membership a proposal that the killing of journalists be made a crime under international law.

Funny. I think it should be made an obligation.

#10 If any of these putrid farks wish to come to my humble rural burg I will glad to bless them with a baseball bat suppository. I would gladly do so for any "Pressman" getting his mug in my face however.
