Re Kevin Marks' remarks on the Guardian: I'm a long-time reader of
the Guardian, and I have never, ever seen articles praising
Palestinian suicide bombers, or supporting the IRA. They've
certainly given space for op-eds to people who do support such
things, but that's not the same, is it? (It's also a healthy sign
of a free press, something you Americans may no longer be readily
acquainted with nowadays.)
And the last time I looked, the Daily Torygraph's circulation was
falling gently as the Tory party's faithful die off or forget how
to read from senility (at around 25, mostly), and is now only 2.5
times more than the rising Grauniad. (And if you want a real buzz,
look at the list of which newspaper websites are most visited, and
rated most influential? You'll find the Guardian at the top!)
As for Patrick's original piece, from over here, it looks to be
right on the money. How on earth can the USA claim any kind of
leadership in the world with such incompetents in the White House?
