As for their news reporting, you are right, errors are rare. It's how they choose to report it to the people and what they choose to report that matters. The tone of voice, words used, body language and a few other factors can be the difference between biased and unbiased.

They can investigate the smear and propaganda campaigns in the media too.

Glad to see the Writer and Director are keepin' it real. Even criminals have emotions.

Of all the websites on the internet, you choose this one to visit? Glad to see the employees of the Israeli Embassy are kept busy.

It came in the letter box, with the rest of the post today.

Is there any real proof that the majority of the people of Syria support the rebels?

Mass austerity while trying to encourage growth and jobs is mind boggling stupid. Learn from the past, it doesn't work. I just received mail from "The Gathering 2013", asking me to invite friends and family back to Ireland, they even attached 2 postcards. My friends and family that have left in the last 4 years didn't leave with any love for this state, they love the island, but not this state. That's a feeling I share.

Looks more like a head-to-knees outfit. Saoirse will be back on the Late Late Show eating Tayto crisps soon enough. Good to see her doing well.

It's been about 5 years since I was last there. Heard they done the place up. Great venue.

There's a big difference between Civil Partnerships and Civil Marriage. They don't have equal rights. My comment above wasn't about the church recognizing it. It was about the Church not interfering in any changes to Irish law, that are long over-due.

Wasn't expecting Git to be killed off in the first episode.

Why don't we use the "research" money to actually do something about it, instead of telling us things we already know?
