The Beeb

Such a hot bed of free thinking intellectualism.

You can even buy American Thinker clothing, all white of course.

I think the pointy hoods must be on a different page though.

Well said! I'd have to wonder about a website that awards itself the rather grandiose title "American Thinker." If they feel the need at the outset to congratulate themselves on their intellect, could that be because they don't really to earn such plaudits from the rest of the world?

Hope things are going well in Ossy, Garinda! Will be back to visit the neighborhood with Pendy and David later in the year! Probably will be a bit too nippy to sit outside drinking and singing, though.

The Daily Telegraph recently published this story.....
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/09/21/nhijab21.xml
Govt. Minister (Ruth Kelly) says she thinks more women appearing in the media (I presume she means Television) should be seen wearing the Hijab (islamic head covering for women)
my question is .....how do users of this group feel about this ?
would you watch the evening news if the female newsreader was wearing a Hijab ? or would you automatically think the news had a biased slant

maybe one of the Moderators could set up a poll , thanks

i think every news media has its own agenda and slant. they realise how powerful the media is these days

so from the likes of fox/cnn/sky news which is widely brushed off as biased to the beeb which has its own lil tricks to having gun men in the studio as the newscasters praise the new military govt as in thailand

gettin unbiased reporting is impossible i think.
