Bullshit.
I'd have less of your passed-along drivel in my mailbox, 5 or ten less
items to delete, a few more seconds to spend on *worthwhile* articles.
Here's a good rule of thumb, if you can't think of 2 or 4 paragraphs
to say about an article you're referencing by URL, there's probably no
need to post it.

You're logic is lying to you. Because if your idiot posting policy, I
usually delete your crap site unseen, meaning not only do the articles you
want distributed not get a wider audience not get wider coverage, much of
what you may have to say about them gets trashed as well.
The only reason I'm reading this is because it was a followup to
something May wrote.

Isreal does not "control the US media", if anything, the Palestinians
are winning over here.

Much of the rest of the world is as ignorant and full of shit as most
Americans.

Huh? Spoken like a true ignoramus.
