Au contraire, mon ami. I watch and read media from both sides, but my favs are The Economist, Bizweek, the FT, WSJ, and...Vanity Fair. I watch several news programmes, coz if you put the folks you don't like on ignore, you never know what the enemy camp is up to and you miss some good laughs -- I truly believe Rachel Maddow's nose is becoming seriously bent to the side from all of her smirking and that it will soon grow like Pinocchio's.

55555555555 Sure, in their own area maybe. I remember when the charter was set and the EU banned the import of bananas from one country (not one of the old colonial states) because they didn't meet size requirements. Market system and free trade? Joke. Amongst themselves sure; not for many others with all that red tape. Look at them now -- Ireland guarantees deposits for Irish banks but not for banks of other countries, and the whole EU is freaking over banking regs and who should guarantee deposits for whom. Heck, the UK was going to invoke the anti-terror law against Iceland (oh, not an EU member) when the country said it would guarantee their own nationals' accounts but nobody else's (like the English folks). The EU likes free trade between its own members, pandies to Russia because it supplies alot of its energy and allows its members to manufacture and import from China coz its cheap. I never liked the EU. Free trade based on its definition of that term.
