It is perhaps unfair to single out the Beeb. Plenty of other media in Britain, Europe and, indeed, America take the same view of Mr Bush.

should read: and, especially, America

Yup - and there's noone more ignorant than a Liberal Democrat, plain and simple...

"In such times, people understandably feel comfortable with a man who exudes confidence. George W Bush is their man."

Yesterday night, the President was confident, presidential in stature, and totally likeable. It was a killer combination that I believe will win him a second term in the White House.

The London Telegraph has a better handle on America than the New York Times.

Fancy that...

USA to the Brits: Knock, knock, knock.... Is anybody home? We've been attacked and want to destroy this bunch of evil doers. Will your country rally around us in our time of need?

BBC to USA: Kiss off, you deserve it.

You know - they should thank their lucky stars that we in America see and understand these "simple", "stupid dunce", non-nuanced, dim-wits. We pick these men and they save the world.

Look at what and who they value - Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Carter. Who have these men ever saved?

"President Reagan, too, was written off by his domestic and foreign critics, portrayed...as a trigger-happy buffoon"

So was Winston Churchill.

George Bush is an Athenian of the Age of Pericles.

The pseudosophisticated, convoluted, hypernuanced leaders of Europe and Democrat America are decadent Romans of the failing and falling Empire.

Do I sense a subtle shift toward attacking the credibility of socialist'institutions' like the BBC? I'm not aware if this is a new turn or established but it would be amazing if some in England were laying the root for their own revolution in a generation to come.

This is a decent article about the president. Is this the UK paper that has been more understanding all along through the war on terror? I know there is at least one that is more fair in their reporting but I don't read them often enough to keep them straight.

It took this monstrous horror in Russia to wake up some abroad that GW is the man you'd want leading your country if you'd been attacked and thousands murdered. I suspect many in the US are deciding that Kerry's totally untrustworthy. In times of peril, character and integrity are everything, and he comes up woefully short.

Philosophy is the love of wisdom.

Sophistry is the claim of wisdom itself.

If you presumtions include the idea that you are wise, you will find that you win all arguments, at least in your own mind. You will also find that your opponent will not be at all convinced.

The key point is that, as nearly as I can make out, there is no difference between claiming to be objective and claiming to be wise - which would if true define all "objective journalists" to be sophists.

Why Broadcast Journalism is
Unnecessary and Illegitimate

Just heard on Hannity's show that he saw a protestor's sign that read, "Where's John Hinkley when you need him?".
That says it all to me...what is the matter with these people? Why do they HATE Bush so much? I just don't get it.
