I don't write these newswire pieces, which is why I go to great lengths to

IMO, I find it interesting that the UK writer of the piece (talking to their
respective readership) shows that the same 'great-media-forces' against

So it isn't just U.S. American capitalism at play here
(bought-n-paid-for-writers-pushing: Hey! don't rock the petroleum-profits
boat!, continue buying ice!) ... The media has huge hands, and (right or
wrong), a huge effect on the public.
