Never heard of Nigeria. GA's hot with da babes man.

I hate ****ing homos... The guy next door is one.
and I believe you are a Bush kinda person. Try and expand your horizons my man. BTW, I think you are on the right track by not liking homosexuality.

But please, don't hate.

FYI, Nigeria's the biggest country in Africa. Check here, it comes as close to the truth as possible, while remaining neutral... unlike other sources I know...

homosexuality???????????
Yes young one, homosexuality: erotic activity with another of the same sex; sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.

Or more simply put, when a man isn't attracted by a woman, but by another man, ditto for women.

That's what this thread's basically about.

And to Shadowfax, I think the media in many aspects do tend to be bias thus not portreying the absolute truth, but I don't think it is done by every one in the media.

CNN to me is a very biased news agency but I don't expect every employee of CNN to be bias.
CNN is indeed a biased news source... but then who ever said cnn was a fair and acurate news source... simple answer.. No one.. It doesnt even pretend to be.

As for the question... I didnt ask it for an answer i asked it purely for my own amusement.

Seeing as i have worked in press offices, media centres and on news crews all over the world for a large part of my adult life... why in the world would i ask anyone that hasnt worked in the industry about it!!

The fact is for all the people that think they know about the media and how it works... unless they have worked within it.. they have no clue whatsoever.

Zlatan, I think that chxta's point was that we are not supposed to trust the media immediately, but he has seen with his own eyes the things that the medias were reporting.
And his view is any different from the medias?

His view that the russian public didnt care is something that i ,in my 7 trips to russia never encountered once... We all see different things in our time in these places.

We all know about the goverment but to say that about the people is unbeleivable.

Interesting how you also jump to your friends aid... with he saw it with his own eyes... Yet only the other day you were saying my personal view of lybia was incorrect as i probably stayed in a hotel... Please get some consistency

You're wrong Shadowfax. CNN claims it is the first with the news, and your source for accurate, up-to-the-minute news from anywhere in the world.

That is a load of absolute crap. When the Abu Ghraib prison scandal broke, CNN was the last to report it. CNN calls virtually has to call Bush first before deciding what it shows. Their reporting particularly on the Iraq war was the most biased piece of reporting I have ever seen.

In, fact, the Nigerian government in particular has had cause to complain about CNN's coverage of this country. CNN is always waiting for some bad news to break so it can potray Nigeria as an amalgamation of lawless tribal lords.

That BBC article on Nigeria was actually a piece of tripe. Gutter reporting if I ever saw it. One incident (bad though it was) is not enough to qualify the people as blood-thirsty savages.

Ok Chxta, read below on the evils of Russian capitalism:


But even the most die-hard Blues fan must have spared a moment to contemplate how the league has been won: it has been bought. The transformation has been wrought by Roman Abramovich, the billionaire Russian oligarch who reaped the rewards of the mass fire sale of national assets after the end of communism. Industries that had been bequeathed to Russia's workers were privatised at a fraction of their real value. Abramovich and Boris Berezovksy bought the oil company Sibneft for £67m. Abramovich is today worth in the region of £3.5bn. The average Russian oil worker earns less than £2 an hour.

Occasional investigations into the Abramovich empire have failed to unearth that he has committed any illegalities. However, can it be right that in post-communist Russia some young men have emerged with more money than they know what to do with, while millions are on the breadline?
