But that is an entirely different kettle of fish. I may not be a conventional theist garden variety mainstream protestant christian (I am more of a deist with some small use of the christian terminology I grew up with -- I call myself a none-of-the-aboveist), but I have no problems with a 'very religious person' in office... as long as they don't cross the line and try to establish a church in the usa (like they have in, for instance, the UK)... AND they don't proselytize at me or any one else. Heh... There I was garpin about proselytizing, and who knocks on my door? Well, this time it wasn't LDS missionaries, or even JWs.... 7th Day Adventists, this time... Personally, I think we need a bit stronger of a moral backbone in this country... Otherwise we will keep getting elected leaders like Bubba the horndog, Dubya the drunkard, and Trump the uggh (words fail me). https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |

Ah, yes the Jimmy Swaggart and pedophile priests of the world. If you want morals you won't find it in a church, therein is only contained vile corruption and hate.And therein lies the difference in Religious belief and Religious belief organized by men. Absolutely correct about the level of corruption and hate.......at about the same levels as are found in any HUMAN endeavor from Government to the local Bakery. Don't blame human corruption on belief in a deity that inspires much good and beauty. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

How much do you cover European news? LOL. Exactly:) Just as the Russian news coverage about the Western Europe. We soon will be extinct:) But apart from that? |

For good and bad. We are not as most of the world understands. Then your knowledge of what is going on in the USA is colored by other people's perspective. The news media does NOT cover ALL that is happening in the US, only those stories that satisfy their editorial bias, and then spun in a way to maximize the bias. I used to listen and watch a LOT of European news on the radio and the television. But I was under no illusion that that news was bias-free. You just have to figure out the bias and adjust accordingly. I used to even get the BBC News channel on my satellite TV system, until I yanked the service less than a year ago. I also watched CNN International back when it had a LOT of news on it from Europe and Asia, even the rest of the world. Heck, even Fox Business had a lot of European news on it, though it was covered from a business perspective (with its attendant biases). Now, I access news online, though that is becoming less and less useful due to paywalling. I may have to figure out some other way, if this trend keeps going. I usually check not only CNN, Fox, and a few others here in the USA, but also BBC, Tass, Xinhua, Yonhap, and a number of others. I likely am not typical of US citizens, but I do my best to follow world news. I know I am no expert on it, but I am also not ignorant of it either. https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Fox News Analyst Quits, Calling Network a ‘Propaganda Machine’. A longtime analyst for Fox News is leaving the network, saying that he could not “in good conscience†remain with an organization that, he argued, “is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.â€Cheers. |

I likely am not typical of US citizens, but I do my best to follow world news. I know I am no expert on it, but I am also not ignorant of it either. I was more like thinking of average people. I hold it for true that an European person knows a lot more of America than vice versa. Even the 2'nd and 5'th amendments in your constitution are well known here. Even kids knows who Trump is. How many in the US knows any European President/PM and also what country he/she represent? Do they know the difference between a President and a PM? Trump didn't when he once said he would like to see the Swedish President:) Bias free news? There is no such thing in any country. Maybe the weather report. |

We did seek and all we found was the big bad stench of lies, corruption and hypocrisy. |

'Average' people(whatever they are). are interested in news that affects them. That's world wide I believe. The fact is that very little that is of interest to the 'average' European or Scandinavian or EU resident is interesting to the 'average' American or Chinese, etc. News organizations pimp their information to the highest audience rating by tailoring biases and flavoring the content to maximize that audience. The reason is obviously the advertising dollar. That being said, and as much as I despise the site, Twitter would seem to be the most uninfluenced information source once the inevitable chaff is discarded. I closed my Twitter account a couple years ago due to spammage but might consider reopening as Facebook is becoming more unreliable by the day except for family interaction. We need a 'World Law' requiring all 'News Sources' to only report the facts and occurrences of the day without bias, editing, 'lost footage', and any other alteration and let each viewer/reader draw their own opinions and conclusions...........but then the 'Controllers' would lose control............

News organizations pimp their information to the highest audience rating by tailoring biases and flavoring the content to maximize that audience. The reason is obviously the advertising dollar. That's true. But there are exeptions. For instance state news outlets like British BBC, Swedish SVT, Norwegian NRK and Finn YLE. They do not get any extra dollars for high ratings and still providing reliable news. Only biased in that sense they sometimes cherry pick. |

Now we know why the leak on the briefing memo ... https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-lawyers/trumps-lead-lawyer-for-federal-russia-probe-resigns-nyt-idUSKBN1GY27B?il=0 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s lead lawyer for the federal special counsel probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election resigned on Thursday, the New York Times reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. Rumpers can't take sage advice no matter how important or correct |

The SETI forum Politics is very much like a fighting club. The White House as well. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/976765417908776963 Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe! |

The SETI forum Politics is very much like a fighting club. No Rumpers is a bully. Bullies are the one who end up in a corner sobbing and begging not to be hurt after the first punch connects. They are pitiful. |
