Thursday, June 30, 2005What media bias? Part MMIXVIIFrom Reuters (who else?), via LGF:
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch woman who swears by a daily helping of herring for a healthy life celebrated her 115th birthday on Wednesday as the oldest living person on record.Yes, and just 283 years after the Paspahegh Indians launched an unprovoked attack on the Jamestown Colony of Virginia, killing one and injuring 11 others. Your point? MORE LINKS: Here's a surprisingly even-handed article on Bush's African aid plan from the BBC. Money: Mr Bush announced the US would double its aid to Africa over the next five years, "with primary focus on reforming countries".Finally, someone in the media recognizes that the American people are among the most charitable on Earth, at least in passing. With this kind of coverage and Bob Geldof's recent comments regarding Bush on Africa, maybe we'll see American policy in the region get a fair shake from the pro-Africa "activists" and an opportunity to make a difference. Also, Irish Eagle has the details on President Bush ducking a question on Malcom Glazer's take over of Manchester United (most likely because had no fucking clue what the interviewer was talking about). It reminds me of this humorous anecdote from the US-Mexico round of 16 game from the 2002 World Cup: The invitation arrived at the White House a few days before last week's historic World Cup victory by the United States over Mexico.Something tells me that President Bush doesn't follow soccer as religiously as some. |
