Obama, a liar and a bully, all in one press conference.

O'Reilly was an example. I'm sure olberman and whoever are just as bad (I dunno I'm English we don't get American news).

But my posts were about everyone in the press having an equal right to report on politics no matter who they support (and how the British ensure that right). When a quote is taken out of context to make me look like a hypocrite and a fool saying the opposite to that, I don't appreciate it much.

 

The US ensures the freedom of the press by right of the 1st Amendment to the Const.

 

 

The first amendment is an amasing thing. It works so well in America, very good for you people to have. But I'm afraid it does not work so well here, the papers are different, they are allowed to be extremist and the government has become very scared of some like the Daily Mail which damage labours reputation senseless. This means they avoid the daily mail and other politcally opposed papers. Which is what happened with FOX I imagine, but on TV.

Luckily our TV coverage of politics does not have this problem in the same way the papers do. The political parties do not fear TV coverage anywhere near as much as papers.

But In the USA I imagine it is much different to here because you don't appear to have such a sensationalist tabloid media.

Haven't you heard of the National Enquirer?

OT: I guess since the UK is smaller then you have more ppl wanting to talk about each other in the pubs and such to pass the time.  Same here but it is more pronounced in the UK.
