Better than what they have been in the last couple of years. Bias is showing, sound byte journalism is threatening to take over.

Also, better than the rest.

Also, as good as they were a few years ago.

my nightly news leads off with death-destruction-sorrow-and grief every night. that's why I've barely watched the news or have read newspapers for the last two years -- ever since I entirely missed Hurricane Katrina when I was in India the first time in 2005.

just like every winter here in Chicago when the forecasters announce every 15 minutes MAJOR SNOWSTORM ON THE WAY. uh...it's winter, it's January, it's Chicago, it snows. move on.

it's a fear-based culture nowadays. anything that keeps the masses in the throes of their fears and what-might-happen conjectures is a way of controlling the populace. think about it.

I choose not to listen.

I've observed for some time now that what is passing as news is lowest common denominator stuff for the masses. Basically everything being offered on most levels (media included) at this point in time is 'fast food'.

Most of the Americans (self included) whom I know personally are totally peace loving, caring individuals. I did NOT vote for any of the current administration so I have to live my life as lovingly as possible as that is all I can do.

As I feel it,War-mongering has no borders being the entire world is filled with it. Love and peaceful feelings are also border-less.

Now... back to the killer monkeys!!!

Very profound, and nicely said......but I must protest! The monkeys are innocent(?) From what I recall of the story - the victim fell - he was not pushed?

free the monkeys!

wow, I wish I would have placed some bets on on how long it would take.....

yup, like I said in the al gore thread, no matter what it is, even in a thread about monkeys, it always go back to america and american politics here. so predictable.

let's see...maybe those monkeys were really CIA assassins! that's it! they work for Blackwater! yeah...it was just a ruse...make that guy jump to have it look like an accident....then we can start taking over India using monkeys as our operatives... ...because they'll WORK FOR PEANUTS!

well said, crowgirl. but you know people don't want to hear about THOSE americans.... they rarely make the nightly news....it's too bad we're so conditioned to look at faults instead of good qualities, even our own.

yes...monkeys...flying monkeys...the skies are filled with them....all those big american companies who have outsourced to India...it's really an insidious plot by the american government to take over India...we've already started with KFC, Dominos Pizza, and now WALMART! WALMART IS BEHIND IT! ALL HAIL WALMART!

we all know about the secret jails that the CIA operates...but they really have secret labs where they've been doing animal experiments for years on perfecting the the FLYING SUPER MONKEY TO TAKE OVER INDIA!
