Santa dems fighting words. Good thing you are quoting.

There's no honour among thieves. And some, most journos could be classed as 'thieves'.

This a pet peeve of mine so don't get me started. I could name a lot of left and right wing nut cases who get paid got money to try and sell us their drivel.

 Had not heard of him Mike, I note he's made other video's, will certainly watch more of him.

This one is well worth watching.

Have you also noticed how the news reporters keep interviewing other news reporters. Are people refusing to appear 'on air' perhaps because of the inane questions they are asked.
I used to watch Fox until I realised that some of them spend their whole time bagging the ABC. I do like BBC these days.
Even the cricket is advertised as a 'war/battle/confrontation'.... is there not enough violence in this world already????
