Colin, I am not going to participate in this discussion any further. But can you please refrain from attributing things to me that I did not say? I never said that the US media is "MORE biased than everywhere else in the world".

You don't need me to position you. You do it yourself when you insult "average Americans" and say the White House controls the US news media.
You say the "news media is controlled by the politicians". You also say "party politics governs access". Yet you are faced with the contradiction of there being two political parties in the US with nearly equal sized constituents, with somewhat equal representation in the press, and having to explain via "hocus pocus you're not in focus" mechanisms how CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, The New York Times, and the Washington Post all deliver "White House propaganda" that is digested and read by non-thoughtful Americans that believe whatever they are told depite that fact that opinion regarding these current events is very split.
You can't wave your hands and dismiss the fact that you said 'Colin, you live in a country that is required to put "caution, filling may be hot" on a mcdonalds "hot apple pie"... ' You have many negative things to say about the US. I'd say you are obsessed with it.
