why does the cover of the current issue of Newsweek in all other parts of the world say "Losing Afghanistan?" while the U.S. version is "My Life in Pictures"?

Interesting question! Many of the rest of the people in the world are wondering how Americans can kill so many people in Iraq but just go on living their bodacious life style with seemingly no conscience.
In fact, President Bush took America into this Iraq War thinking that it would be easy, thinking he and his handpicked cheer leaders have run the war since the beginning like it is their little toy, game or sand box. There is one small problem, lots of people have died because of Bush's arrogance.
And do Americans really see what is happening or are they fooled by the media's propaganda, pampered and pablumed or, as you suggest, only good news for Americans. Who cares what really is going on? Or who in the hell cares what the Mexicans, French, Germans, Spanish, Japanese, or to hell the it, the World! You know, just as long as America has cheap gas.

When asked, the vast majority of reporters covering presidential campaigns have responded to questions about their voting habits by saying that they were voting for Democrats. Does that mean that all of the media is going to always toe the Democrat line? Obviously not, but if the AP or Reuters has a chance to skew the results, they are going to do so by hiring a stringer that has an agenda that is anti-Conservative. Look at the obvious staging of the pictures in southern Lebanon where AP stringers used dead children, trying to make Israel look as bad as possible. Or when Reuters used the same woman twice in one week to show how tragic it was that Lebanese people might lose a home, unfortunately she was shown lamenting the loss of two homes in a week, that were miles apart... Or when Reuters accused the Israeli's of using a smart bomb to destroy an ambulance, sending the bomb straight into the center of the roof of the ambulance... But it was later discovered that the hole in the roof came from a hole being drilled there to house the siren... The media isn't just liberal, it is a vast horde of fibbing fools that only occasionally stumble anywhere close to the truth.

Why are they flipping out over what Clinton said? I think they aren't really that liberal at all.
