Would they listen even if, or perhaps just if, it helped? LOL!
Quite the 'accepted common knowledge' is which TV station has which
slant/bias in the US. One thing I have learned from reading foreign new
sites on line (UK, MY, SN, and God help me, BX) is that trying to read
through cultural bias is a lot like Intentions - it's the assumptions
that will kill you.
Oh, sorry Beth. Acronyms...
UK - well, you know that, of course!
MY - Malaysia.
SN - Singapore.
BX - Brunei - according to the source (one not unsurprisingly) nothing
ever bad ever happens there (well relatively rare) and '...everybody is
happy..." (or else?) and loves the Sultanate.
Hey, Way OT - anyone knowing news sites (I might have missed some
good
ones, small ones especially) please forward off list your suggestions to
warbeads@juno.com or warbeads@aol.com - dissidents' sites are fine -
just
biased but in a different way - on these countries (or Indonesia or
Pacific Islanders even.)
Gracias,
Glenn
Hx, SF, and Fx: 6 mm figures, Starships and 1:6K "Wet Navy" warships
are my main interest. But I have forces in 6 through 25 mm FWIW...
