Would you be happy to say which media?

I watch the BBC. RT, CNN, Euronews (amongst others) and all would have you believe that their country is the best - the most shocking thing is how they ALL spin news items to suit themselves...

Sure, I watch Fox news on TV and drudge, politico, ACLJ, CBS, MSN, CNN on the internet.

In my opinion all news outlets are biased. I prefer FOX because I hear news that is never shown in mainstream media.

The United States is still the best. We may have problems, but there is still no other country I would want to live in.

Would you be happy to indicate whether you have travelled or otherwise live overseas?

I am from the UK and from birth, the concept of "Great" Britain is drilled into us, yet having travelled to many countries (including most of the States) I struggle to see what is supposed to make us so much better than anywhere else. Especially when there are many countries that enjoy a better standard of living and do not have the same depth of recession that we do.

It is my belief that UK schools and media reinforce this message simply so we don't ask awkward questions.

If your not American I don't expect you to understand what it's like to be American.

JMCC to maggiemay 2012/05/30 17:13:58

Absolutely.

Isn't that iwhy we ask questions though, to seek understanding?

True, we can be a funny bunch of b*ggers. Of course we're most famous for our pirates and our pasties ;)

Our ability to laugh at ourselves is perhaps our biggest saving graces ;)

It used to be the United States. Now I'm not so sure anymore. We're sinking as we speak.

I have travelled a lot, but it is almost impossible to task to decide, but I think that the kingdom of Bhutan has a lot going for it.

They don't have money, as their currency is happiness - fascinating place!!!
