    I'm glad I have access to BBC America. Last night BBC America and the
    Discovery Channel networks had a good collaborative in depth report starring
    Forrest Sawyer called "Behind the Terror" (IIRC) which focused on bin
    Laden's emergence with details I'm not seeing discussed a lot over here.

    Over here we have "FoxNews" which I used to like at first, but it has become
    a highly right wing slanted network IMO. If anybody has seen that early
    morning "memefest" called "Fox and Friends" they might concur. Anybody into
    media studies should take a close look at that show and the subtle (or not
    so subtle?) spin.
