When I suggested CNN it was not to advocate it as a particular source, but an example of a reliable source. If the US CNN is different and softer than the international one then it should be scrubbed off as an example. I was advocating you get your kids to watch reliable and well reported news, and since CNN is off, I can only think of the BBC for one that is more than just a national news service. If possible, though I doubt it, I would suggest watching BBC's newsnight. Jeremy Paxman will tear politicians, no matter how powerful, if he feels it neccesary, regardless of whether the interviewed will refuse to come on the show again. of course they do, because all serious politicians do. Except American politicians, it was fun to see Rumsfeld and Perle talking to him at the beginning of the war, for one or two occaisions, but then he verbally battered them and now they send lackeys to take the heat.
As for newspapers, read the Guardian, the Independant, the Times, Le Monde. I know the first three are UK and the last is French, but they are good, strong and reliable sources. Read them on the net if you can't get them where you are.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
I watched the clip where he asked Howard Strong (80's or earlier 90's?) in an interview, the same question over ten times to get it answered...perseverence is definitely one of his strongest attributes. |
