You wrote "European journalism is detestable, but I wouldn't say its American counterpart is more worthy of praise."

Sorry if my comment came off as Euro-bashing. Yep, our press is just as bad, maybe worse I agree.

Still the jargon is slightly different. Our Amero LibTard Press uses other terms: "right wing extremist" "white supremecist" and of course every Ivy League freshman's favorite "fascist". But "Nazi" not so much. Here you pretty much have really be a Nazi to have the label applied.

I am a regular reader of both Brussels Journal and Gates of Vienna and have the utmost respect for the European Conservatives who are far ahead of us here in the USA in electing some individuaals who understand the importance of "borders, language and culture" to use Michael Savage's phrase.

Long Live the Free and Independent People of Europe and their many Nations!! All Things Good to Our Cousins! European-American friendship and solidarity forever!!

I disagree with you a bit on the Nazi label.....

The left loves to call conservatives “Nazis,” when in reality, it’s the left who most resembles the storm troopers of the Third Reich.

That nutjob congressman Wexler of Florida called Sarah Palin a “Nazi sympathizer.” Her “offense?” She wore, for one day, a Pat Buchanan button when Mr. Buchanan paid a visit to Alaska. Oh, the horror! s/

- Well, sorry if I gave you the impression I read it that way.

I didn't.

In any case, there are plenty of decent people in the game of journalism on both sides of the pond.

However, one of the major problems in this context is that many media “consumers” - although being well educated, hard working, moral Westerners - don't wish to choke on reality first thing they do watching their morning show.

To someone living in, for instance, Munich, Bavaria, Germany (just as a matter of example, I've lived and worked there - love the place) it would only be thrilling to find out 300 innocent commuters died some 20 minutes ago in Vienna, Milan, Lyon or Frankfurt am Main etc because of some Al-Qaeda bombing first thing you do in the morning, but a documentary clip concerning the spread of Islamism in the Munich area simply isn't good journalism from a Bavarian media perspective.
