exleckie,

Stone clamed Platoon was semi-autobiographical, those that served with him in Vietnam called 'bull****', make a politicised drama if you must, don't try passing it off as 'faction' - he did that with JFK as well and hid behind the old excuse 'it's only a film' when some of his 'revelations' were proved to be false. I'd watch his films as entertainment but that's about it. Problem is too many people believe what's on the screen


Meanwile; back at the subject

At the end of the day [the press]all they are is conveyers of information Any conveyence of information carries a "slant" or an "accent". Don\'t think it\'s always against you.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm, how about some free and unbiased reporting then?

Anyway, moving right along. We are incredibly selective in which violations of UNSC we chose to take action over now aren’t we, when it concerns Middle Easter/Mediterranean countries.
Veiled reference to Israel? Or a problem with UNSCRs 678/687/1441? If the latter it\'s been done to death here, basically 678 and 687 dealt with the cease-fire of 1991. ANY violation of the articles meant that the war was back on. 14 or so violations later..........
