LONDON - BBC World, the BBC's global commercial service, has unveiled details of its US election coverage.

Oh boy! The Brits are really going to get fair and balanced coverage, aren't they? Shocked Can't you just see it already? Michael Moore and Madeleine Albright? Now isn't that a wholesome twosome! And George Soros? Guess he can't fly to London on the Concorde any more can he? And we've been talking about the "old lame media". Guess Mother BBC doesn't have any honor and respect left now either.

RE: former CIA director James Woolsey.
from what I've read in the past, he is on our side in this. I think he believes Saddam was connected to all sorts of terrorits attacks, including the first World TradeCenter attack, 9/11 and the anthrax letters. Maybe they don't know that. Wink

Perhaps its a good thing Moore did what he did. I am overwhelmed at how many around me think that Moore exposed his mental problems and all joke about how Hollywood has thrown their arms ( it takes several sets ) around the slob. And yes, as with many plans from the dem's, this too has backfired. Even the most hard-headed people seem to be a real sucker for the truth even though they will NEVER ADMIT that in public! And since Moore means "Moore Lies", well, its self evident. Smile

He's made himself a reputation as a hate-filled crackpot and substandard propagandist. Nothing he ever does will be given the respect the Enquirer gets. He's just going to be laughed at, and even his liberal pals will shun him, because even they don't want to be seen associating with such a loser when there's no hope of getting anything out of it.

I hope they have a "wide" angle lens on the camera... Laughing

Let this serve as an example of what happens when you don't have a free media. It looks like it's 1984 in England.

You don't suppose we could get the BBC to keep the lard-@$$ed b@$tard and take him back to London after the election, do you? I can hear it now . . .

"Your Majesty - look what followed us home. Can we keep him?!"

"Certainly not, Mr. Sambrook. We do not have enough donuts in Buckingham Palace to feed him."


(The BBC's news director is Richard Sambrook.)
