Unbiased Coverage...Not CNN or Fox

What was so stupid about that post? The poster was pointing out that it was pretty tough to survive the holocaust... this man DID... and yet he dies during part of his, possibly mundane, daily routine. I didn't see anything offensive. It's just ironic I guess. The man probably thought he'd survived so much horror that he would just pass away peacefully in his sleep at some stage... it's very sad :(

its like rain on your wedding day

CNN, FOX and MSNBC all did report about this guy! I guess if you listen to the BBC, you missed that these other cable news did report about him. Even my local network news reported about this guy and his background.

Absolutely it was clear enough... there was no doubt in my mind what he meant and I still can't see how somebody could actually get offended thinking he was putting the holocaust down

BBC unbiassed? Are you kidding me? They are off the wall liberal over there. There are many examples. One such example is how when they were tearing down the Sadam statue in the middle of bagdad and every network was showing all the Iraqies dancing in the streets live... the BBC just didn't broadcast it. How is that unbiassed?

That's a lie. They did show it, because I watched the BBC when they broadcast it. Why make shit up?

The BBC is the furthest left news organization out there, they hate the United States by the way, so maybe you love the BBC b/c you too also hate the United States? If so get the fuck out...we don't need or want you here, Remember when Eddie Vedder said if Bush gets elected again I'm gonna move to Canada I think you should take his advice seeing as how he still lives in West Seattle. Fox News is the only news outlet that reports with both dems and reps debating issues, ever period!

wow... people like you really do exist...

Pretty much every news source has some bias. I think the annoying thing about FOX and CNN is that they are more interested in hype than actually reporting news. I like BBC some times, but some print material like the Economist and such, are often more reliable. You just have to wait a bit before an article comes out. Most sources like this have a website now, and I know that the current stories are accessible without a subscription from economist.com. (I don't work for them, but they're a credible source for school.)

Firstly, that whole thing was staged. so it was not so much news as it was propaganda.

Keith Oberman and Jon Stewart is where I get my news

The heading was not supposed to bring the emotional responses....the content of the post was! What an amazing story of a man. this should be the focus!

I guess I am a little out of my league here...as a Canadian I am getting a little fed up with CNN and FOX (that is ALL I meant!)

As the last post stated my 'American' news comes from Jon Stewart on Comedy Central!

To the memory of LL!
