Whats yours is mine...
and whats mines my own!
I am the only one that is getting annoyed by the fact the US news channels (Fox, CNN) are all giving the impression that the US where major players in the recent airline plots? not that I am saying they were no help at all but when you listen to the news stories they seem to come across like the arrests were all thanks to the US and how come the reverse never happens (when the UK, or other countires assist the US in apprehensions of terrorists).
The again though I guess this is the way it has always been... you only have to watch a couple of second world war films to see that.
Annoying anyhow.

I wonder what the reaction would be if you started talking about GCHQ doing the intelligence work.

ITA with all the above. Yep I'm copping out! Don't you just love how when Faux (sic) News was faced with a lawsuit about its "Fair and Balanced" slogan, they changed it to "We Report, You Decide". Yeah, and look at what exactly they choose to report! UGH!

CNN and MSNBC are left wing biased IMHO so I just flick from one of the three news channels to the other....to keep it fair and balanced of course.

Re: Whats yours is mine...
IMHO, Fox News is the news equivalent of The 700 Club, in that I can't decide whether it's the funniest thing i've ever seen, or the most frightening thing i've ever seen.
