You Would Think We Live In America!
 Yes, there was a time when we had real media in this country! Why is it we have to follow a blow by blow election in the USA every single day? A thorough reading of even our online newspapers shows over 50% of stories are about the damn Americans and how good they are. No propoganda there of course! Is it because there's only a couple of people that actually own the media and they need to re-use their crappy stories over here to get better value? - Could it be that's because we have to have 3 hours of news every day and nothing much actually happens here in Australia? That American policies are much more interesting? I don't think so! We were promised their fool of a president would be shot by now weren't we? That's the only reason I've put up with the crap for so long. BUT NO LONGER! Stuff the USA, their elections, their arrogant policies and their evil leaders. Damn, Bondi Rescue final this week. Let's see what AMERICAN TRASH they replace it with! Monday rant over. more » |
