Re: AMERICA'S YELLOW PRESS

You are full of ****,
The American press is so biased against anything Bush proposes. They make
up 
news (not one sorce but NO source)
I will agree that they are lazy, the let Hollywood, Michael Moore and Ted 
Turner's CNN make the news what they want.

But you must remember, there is NO IQ test for journalism school
