Have you seen this:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/03/business/media/03murdoch.html
?

Do you know that the Rupert Murdoch is the owner of the Australian/
international media empire ? He attributes his early success in
Australia to his policy: he takes a newspaper, and dumbs down its
content to care for the interest of the simple people. He keeps his
winning formula in use. Now he wants WSJ. Hur-hur-hur.

From the start I had this sneaking suspicion that you are behind the
scenes. Art has given you so many good advices and you would like to
deprive him his favorite reading.

It may be that I'll have to start going to the Aljazeera website to learn
what is going on in MY country.

It quit being your country when Reagan was elected, if not
before..

Yep

BTW did you see that when asked if they believe in evolution
at the so-called "debate" the other night, 3 of the 10
Republican presidential candidates answered they don't.

No, I didn't watch any debate (TV? Isn't that the medium geared to a 3rd-4th grade level education?), but I have a hard time understanding how people can reject evolution like they do. Ask yourself how most of Asia (eg. China-Japan) got along for thousands of years without theism, let along evolution.

Next debate they should ask how many think the Earth is
flat.

Well there's that guy Freidman who wrote--didn't he--that book "The earth is flat," no?

Cheers,
Russell
