Now I know that one of the biggest lies my circle of friends in the Philippines had been exposed to was Archie and his cast of friends. To be fair, we were all aware that the gentle, predictable humour and plots of Archie comic books were fiction in the true sense of the word....

NEW YORK, March 11, 2004 - Mainstream news organizations may "filter" the news, as President George W. Bush claimed late last year, but not to omit good stories from their Iraq coverage, but to broadcast more negative news about the president himself, according to a report released today by MediaChannel.org and Media Tenor. The report reveals a strong negative cast to ABC, CBS and NBC news coverage of the president thus far in 2004. Meanwhile, Senator John Kerry, Bush's certain opponent for November, has received more positive coverage by the same three networks. According to data compiled for MediaChannel.org by...
