Oh, not true, the news also has stories about traffic accidents and how much Paris Hilton paid for her new shoes. I didn't learn what true news coverage was until I lived in Europe. American broadcast media is a complete waste of time insofar as news coverage is concerned. We have a few newspapers that I think are ok, but only a few. pippin;480566 Wrote: > > well...That's the problem with you Americans: You always believe that > somebody's view - if different from yours - is skewed...

It's also why our foreign policies and actions fail so miserably. The world laughs and/or shakes their heads at what we do over and over and we still don't get it. We suffer from egocentricism. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70539 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezenetwork
