What is it about the Media?

I swear on Cnn and Fox there is nothing but Natalie Holloway, Iraq war, oil Prices, Illegal Immigrants, outsourcing, Israel, Vanezuela. Is that all what is going on in the US? How about the world news? I watched this show once on ABC it was suppose to be about the World but ended up being all about the US.

Do people even know that the US counts for 15% of the worlds exports? The news never says that. Anyone I just want to know what are some reliable news sources you guys get news from?

Actually there is regularly a news piece on the BBC's 6 o'clock news reminding us that America counts for 15% of world exports, so its strange that American news companies dont pick up on it more?

And also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Iraq war, Israel and Venezuala classed as 'world news'?

Oh yea, if you want world news then simply go to bbc.co.uk or cnn.com

How about Pat Peterson on camera proclaiming that the US Government should assassinate Venuzula's President if they haven't already thought about it?

They have 4.9 million fit-for-duty servicemen and 6 million in total.

Let's see how this pans out.

yeah yeah yeah, but I'm on a coastal state. And I do have the Chatahoochie river and several other lakes (of course nothing in comparison to the size of the Great Lakes), but hey, what can you do. My point was that you are more isolated in the heartland, though still living in a high value strategic terror target!
