Over the past few weeks, I've been taken to task by shocked Britons who are absolutely scandalized to discover that I don't have any great regard for what, one told me, is "widely regarded as the world's most trustworthy news organization".
They then turn around and tell me that "It's quite natural for the authorities to make you think that the media is biased, when they become uncomfortable with the information that is coming out", and that "under Bush, the US is becoming a nasty place"—not to mention that "who says you are at war? The use of that word is very deliberate and totally inaccurate".
Oh, would that I lived in England, where the state-owned media is totally unbiased and presents only the most impeccable facts.
