>>And then the complaint about certain newpapers and other left or right media, being biased... From my perspective the american media is CRAP and rotten to the core. There is no independed media or they are marginalised into insignificance. As I have learned from many american citizens they learn more about american politics when they are living outside of the US. The US media simply does not give you the unbiased information. Everything is taken in the context of left and right, republican or democrats.

>That is actually not true. Try this. Take 15 minutes a day for a week and browse through nytimes.com. Political stories, news stories, business stories (big at the moment), whatever catches your fancy. And then see if you think it is "rotten to the core" or dedicated to biased information.

Uh, I'm afraid doing so would cement his opinion rather than change it....
