Funny that the private donations from the US > whenever something happens never seems to be recognized by those that > want to criticize the US at any possible turn.... But it's so easy with headlines like "White House may want $100 billion more for war" (Chicago Sun-Times - Jan 4). You may see the rest of the world as always US bashing, but you have a different viewpoint from the rest of the world. We get US coverage as well as the viewpoint from other countries like the UK, Australia and our local stuff, so we see several perspectives and get to draw our own conclusions. Since we have something to compare with, we can see how "Pro-US" the US coverage is, but you are denied that luxury. Not through any evil conspiracy. It's just the way that it is. What may appear as black and white to you now, may actually be dark and light gray when compared to blacker and whiter.
