If you believe the "mainstream" European press, you now think that the European Union is suffering through one of its worst moments because the current president is Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister.

The English language European press consists of Europe-CNN, which is much futher left than US-CNN, the BBC all news network, which is blatently leftist and the International Herald Tribune which is now 100% owned by the New York Times and printed a full America hating editorial on the 4th of July by that grumpy liberal Frank Rich. It's very sad to see that the biggest critics of the USA in Europe our our own fifth column. No wonder people don't like us. If you were only exposed to the lies, distortions and unfocused anger of the leftist view of the USA, and they appeared both native and athoritative you might hate the USA too.
