Yes, Michael, know about that case. Generally though, Brits are more  
'cosmopolitan' than Americans. They may be more aware that Rachel Maddow  
may follow Keith Obermann and Katie Curic will resign. After the sacking  
of Chris Hedges and Helen Thomas, why should this be surprising? I  hope  
they can feel the changes in BBC following Dyke and Davies 'resignation'  
after the Kelly affair. And Canadians in the shift in Canadian politics  
following the peddling of influence, ala American style. Or the Swedes in  
the hand of Karl Rove in engineering the Swedish election reversal.

Yes, politics too has gone global too. And the control of the media has  
long been seen as imperative in 'engineering' electoral outcomes. I hope  
we can all see beyond the petty sound bites that is presented to us. For  
example, in the recent Obama visit to Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero's  
grave, I see a representative of the killer bring flowers to his victim.  
What did you see?
