What I did find irksome, and which ties in with the OPs original point, was a member of the US 'media' berating another country's media for poor quality journalism! A case of physician heal thyself I think!!
Andrew's 'Fox' example is a frightening illustration of this. |
Well said, Doug. As far as the American media is concerned it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black. The news networks, especially in the US, are not about critically informing the public in an unbiased manner. They're nothing more than trash entertainment organisations that cater to the lowest common denominator when it comes to anything intelligent or factual reporting. But, that seems to be what the general populace wants, so they get what they deserve. Rubbish, lies and fantasy.
