Press bias, or the stakes on the table from the liberal left? Which is the topic of the thread here?

Oh. … It is the same subject.

The BBC is a regular read for me. It gives me a POV different from our U.S. MSM. I keep hoping that even if I read biased POV, I’ll get to triangulate on a Point-Of-View closer to mine. That is, I’ll get some facts from BBC that I wouldn’t from NYT, LAT, CBS, ABC and that the some of the missing facts somehow add up to enough facts to get some idea of the underlying reality.

BBC, and LeMonde (France) have the European anti-Israeli POV. I’m not sure what belief system is necessary to get such a POV. Although there are some that have an unabashedly pro-Israeli POV, such as the Miami Herald.

The “big-tent” of including many differing politically active groups under the big D Democrats is alarming. The Dems have not agreed this much in several presidential elections. The intersection of their interests is only one thing: ABB. I’d like to think that at some point, these deluded, but semi-rational neighbors of mine (and yours) will realize that they have to vote “for” something and that what JJ stand for is nothing that they would rationally vote for.

The jury still has 98 days to deliver their verdict.

I’ll agree with Chuck above. A win here, with this much on the table, would be a big win. Rally your rational neighbors.
