Re: The British People

[mlpreble@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I'll agree with you aboout the British people.  Better friends and allies we could never hope for.  They are a great people and I mourn with them. 

 

But I would have to disagree about the fair and balanced reporting from the BBC.  While Fox News and the others may be opinionated about certan things, BBC is just as opinionated, though with a completely different stance.  It's one of the reasons why I flip between many news networks when something like this happens, rather than just following one.
