This election to many on the left isn't about philosophy, policy, honesty, or whatever 'ee' you want but hating Bush. As such hate makes them irrational in their thought, and that is reflected in their posting. They will believe the most outrageous or tenuous claims, because they hate, they accept without question any criticism of Bush, because they hate, they will let no logic interfere with their hatred. The politics forum is looking more and more like the paranoia forum. Its either that or they are just stupid. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

somehow you must imagine that devoting more paper space to articles and less to advertising, and providing more context in the reporting of news than you get in any american daily is in itself bad, something to be afraid of because context might indicate a "left biais"....

Oh roachy, I do read the Guardian from time to time, I am just not blind enough to see they don't have a bias to all of their political stories. That doesn't mean they might not have something interesting, it just means you have to understand their slant. The fact that this ridiculous claim is reported in the Guardian is not surprising, since they are a left wing paper. They didn't invent the story, like say CBS would

, but they are willing to give it press time. They will not be critical of it, since it is basically 'anti-Bush'.
I don't know how old you are but it took me a while to understand just how biased the press can be, it really wasn't until I was in my mid 20's that I learned I couldn't trust much of it to be fair, and it wasn't until my late 20's when the Gore/Bush campaign was going on did I see just how obvious it is when you look for it.
Do you believe everything at Fox News at face value?
Did you get that point?
