Actually, the Mail Online story is one of the more informative recaps. The U.S. media barely even dared to report Abercrombie’s exact quote. I.e.: it probably didn’t make much ink at the larger U.S. papers.
The British press not only reported the comments, but they also explained to their readers what the references meant. The U.S. media would have been attacked as racist for offering a similar explanation.
When it came to Obama, 99x out of a hundred the British press was more accurate. With the sorry state of the American media, we are very fortunate to have an alternative source.
The Mail Online coverage of everything is most impressive. When it comes to TV, I find Al Jazeera more informative on ME reports, than US or local sources. Our press mostly follows the US script...keep them in the dark and keep them guessing. Left if good, right is Nazi. Conservatives are all white supremacists. Fortunately, our nightly lectures on globull warming as 'news' have been reduced in content. The Media in Oz and the US deserves it's ENEMEDIA title.
