Hey, Jake, did you have a look around that rag?

It's not a "press" site at all! I don't know if you can, but I couldn't get a link to who they are, who funds them, etc. But did you notice the "news links" the have?

This is a right-wing propoganda sheet that appears to make its money advertising restaurants.

I wouldn't believe a word I see written there.

cheers
