Ecept George Bush

When did I ever say I paid attention to George Bush? I don't personally think much of him as a President, but he's a hell of a lot better than the alternatives were.

As a matter of fact, I prefer Bush to either Hillary or Obama

there !

 

[Kinger43]

I fail to see where that says I pay attention to him.

I'll state again:

I don't personally think much of him as a President, but he's a hell of a lot better than the alternatives were.

The BBC is totally independent from any outside influence which is why some of the best drama and current affairs programmes are on the BBC.

No, Naive...as in believing the BBC is free from government or other interference.

What evidence do you have to support this claim?

The BBC and Australia's ABC are just as biased and just as full or errors as Fox News. It is just the bias and errors come from a different angle.

 

[Rich]

There are no errors on the BBC, it's not Australian or American

 

[Mike375]

There are no errors on the BBC, it's not Australian or American

But a proportion of its news or other shows/articles rely on Australian and American sources.

No, they are researched before airing to remove the political slants, we're given the truth, not the Bush, Howard and Bliar spins

And if they are reporting on the space program then where do they go apart from NASA.

The Russian Space Agency.............................................

So that is why the reporting is so inaccurate. I often wondered why it was so poor in the accuracy department.

How would you know?
Oh and by the way, here is the longest running TV prog in the world

How would you know?

A life long interest in the space program.

If you want to take this seriously, all news outlets fall short in detail and especially in technical areas. However, the general thrust is usually close to mark.

I watch BBC, CNN, FoxNews and also SkyNews. If it is a Space Shuttle launch all 4 source their material from NASA and use the NASA press kit releases.

You edited while I was posting.

I watch quite a bit of BBC and our ABC as both stations provide programs that don't make the popularity stakes.
