Thanks Xugumad but there is a larger factor to it. I read time. I also the read The Guardian, The Economist, The Australian, The Age and many other print and online sources of news, opinion and analysis. I treat all with equal amounts of skepticism. The range just amongst the ones I listed includes both left and right leaning publications, there is a good reason for that.

Here's the pot calling the kettle black again; are you actually claiming there's much difference between watching CNN and reading "Time"? Had you noticed that they're the same company?

I'm actually insulted you pointed that out. Not only have you completely missed the huge difference between Print and TV media but you've assumed I don't have even the most rudimentary understanding of the hierarchy of corporate America.
UT you claim I have no view of the 'real' America, you've just proven you have no concept of life here or in Europe. Touché. Thanks once again Xugumad for doing a far more through rebuttal than i did/would have and in a remarkably civilized tone under the circumstances.

That's a theory you'll have to explain further; what you're saying is people here believe if we give aid to the Israelis we get bonus points when the Rapture hits, is that it?

No. Basically without getting bogged down in it the Jews controlling Israel is a prerequisite for it to happen, which is of course followed closely by the fundie brigade who see everything from S11 to the launch of vanilla coke for the last 500 years as a sign of the second coming. Most of them are in the Republican Party.
I saw an interesting question today. Would guns be so popular if by law they all had to be neon pink and fluffy.
