I only wish they were showing it on BBC America, sadly they prefer to show 30-year-old repeats of Are You Being Served and the consistently unfunny Keeping Up Appearances.

The 'fair and balanced' Fox News has just had a dig at the Power of Nightmares, gleefully slagging off the BBC and the Guardian at the same time.

The latest Private Eye was having a go at Fox News---and particularly the silence from other Murdoch organs (The Sun, The Times) when Fox is caught out lying and spinning its "news" coverage for political reasons.

Subscribing to Private Eye was one of the last things I did before moving over here; not good for the blood pressure but it's nice to keep in touch with what's happening back 'home'.

Fox News sings (very loudly) from the Republican songsheet, if Bush loses god knows how they'll react.

Worth noting that most of the US TV networks were calling the last election for Gore, until FOx started highlighting the Florida situation.

Part of the conspiracy theory surrounding that election involved Jeb Bush being governor of Florida, and a Bush cousin being an excutive for Fox News.

Indeed t'was the case.

It's a fucking miracle that a storm wasn't kicked up over it really.
Ignorant fucking chimp got away with murder.
The more I read up on the family Bush & their connections with the Bin Laden et al, the more disgust I feel & the more anger I feel to the stupid hard right pedants who could have the truth painted in gold by Dubya himself but still miss it.

They spend so much time preaching the indoctrinated mantra of "Right is Right", yeah how fucking long did it take to come up for that one. Really using all the grey matter there Bubba.
Hardliners who come out with "Yeah we had to bomb I-rack cos they were a threat."
Suck my fucking dick.
There isn't a single country in the world that's a threat to the U.S, or should I redefine that as a single country in the world that the US haven't armed to the tits in the first place.
Then they have the fucking nerve to wax lyrical about how they are "Protecting us" by bombing million of innocents to teach them a lesson.

They create a global fear factor that "You could be next". Yeah only if we don't agree with Dubya.

It's fucking bullshit and people buy into it.
What's this whole shit caused worldwide? Panic and xenophobic/racist attitudes of the highest proportions since WW2.
What do "They" get out of it?
Global control.

Odd that 10 years ago, the concept of a New World Order & Global Police Force was laughed at as conspiracy fodder.
How the cookie crumbles with Boy George Dubya using the exact NWO phrase in a speech to Congress and Phoney Blair repeating it to the Commons.
Global Task Force has also been mentioned under the guise of Terrorist Threat.
Fuck that shit.

The Patriot Act was on the cards roughly 20 years ago but there was no way of implementing it without losing votes big time.
Now, the US citizens have been backed into a corner over it without realizing the full implications.

"Yeah I think it's an ok idea. I agree" says Dumb Fuck Weinberger.

Dumb Fuck is saying this purely at having swallowed the soundbite "You're either with us....or the terrorists."

Sorry dudes, this shit really fucks me off along with the mindless morons and muppets that go along with it all without a single fucking question.
It's exactly what the establishment want.
We fall into line by creating a self policing society.
Dare you be different? No fucking way as the rest of society will brow beat you back into conformity.

When those right wingers finally shut the fuck up and stop wanking over their own voices, they'll sit back and think, "Hang on, what have I just agreed to?"

Right, I'm off to meditate and say Woo Saaa a lot.

I can understand your anger, frustration and concerns.
