U.S. Media Outstrips U.K. in Royal Wedding CoveragePosted on Apr 25, 2011
Well, this is embarrassing: According to The Nielsen Co., the U.S. news media have outdone their U.K. counterparts in terms of covering the upcoming nuptials of Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton—and not by a small margin, either. —KA

All the attention this wedding is getting equals:
“Gee, Diana, we are sorry we didn’t make the effort to find your killers but we hope you will forgive us.”

FAUX plans to compete with the royal nuptials by screening the adoring documentary they filmed of Laura kneeling at ‘W’s’ feet, plucking the toe jam from between his toes, to celebrate the SCOTUS fix in the first election.
Report thisIt should be interesting to compare the ratings.

The US did not ‘far outstrip’ the UK in royal nuptial coverage. Since BBC has the exclusive rights to closed-circuit televise the consummation of the marriage from the royal bedding chamber, they certainly consider that they will have far outstripped the pitiful colonies.

MackTN, speaking of “The Obama Birth Certificate,”
I saw a video of a careful analysis of what was published. The CIA
did a much better job on this one, than the first one. However, when
one considers that the CIA and U.S. Treasury did 200 falsified family
histories and passports for the initial 200 NAZI scientists sneaked
into the US via Operation Paper Clip in 1945, and 1,800 more thru
1952, they have had a lot of experience. Not to overlook the over
twenty SSA cards issued to him, all from dead men.
Master Obama´s trip to Hawaii a few weeks ago produced results !!!
However, fraudulent, equal to his performances in all areas.
Nevertheless, his loving, old Grandma said he was born in Kenya. Now,
who knows a loving, old Grandma who lies about the birth of a
grandchild ? And the video of him and his wife, when she said, “- -
when we visited Barack´s home country - .”
Now that FOX “news” has adjudicated the issue to be moot - - - .

Our wonderful media doesn’t have time to report on Bradley Manning or Abu Jamal
Report thisor bank crimes because they have to devote resources to covering the wedding of
two boring people and a wedding dress. Obama’s birth certificate makes news
but not the worsening plight of the unemployed. We are effin doomed.I have
saved so much money since dumping my cable subscription four years ago—
internet and Netflix.

Its safer than going to the numerous hot-spots where the U.S. is pissing money away, killing innocents and poisoning the enviroment.
Who wants to report on that depressing shit?

Could it be that we just have a greater portion of daft wankers who gain more
Report thispleasure worrying about petty nonsense. Or an equally to greater daftifying media
concentrating on persuading us that petty nonsense matters more than multiple
wars, unemployment, and unregulated financial devices of mass destruction, to
name a few.

Right.
Report thisSimply additional evidence of the source of authority that is exercised on
alleged U.S.Authority and U.S. media.
