I just read today that the French media uses most of it's news/information from the wires of the NY times.
Which I think of as an anti American RAG!

The US media is the most free in the world.
Most governments cannot withstand the onslaught of a free press.

Btw, my dear friends
I've been very busy with my new computer and haven't been coming here as I need all kinds of help that's found in other sections.
Don't think I've left or you've gotten rid of me!
In the words of a great conservative mind and soon to be govenor of California-

I'll Be Back!
