SHOCK: Someone in the media reckons McCain won the 3rd debate!!

For those of you, like boring old me, who watched the final Presidential debate today (my time), you would also, no doubt, have taken an interest in who the media said won it. I'm not implying that you would have taken any notice of what the media said of course, merely that you took a passing interest!

It should come as no surprise to any of us that 95% of the fourth estate gave victory to Senator Government Obama. Reading some comments on the net today I have come to the conclusion that the MSM and the rest of the neanderthal left would have given the debate to Obama had he not even turned up!

Regarding the outcome of the debate, one surprising dissenting voice comes from Mark Halperin. I say surprising, because he is writing for Time magazine, no less.

Here is the article.

TIME story on David Cameron, UK Conservative leader

I was browsing through the magazines in my dentist's waiting room today (refreshing to visit a waiting room to find current magazines, let me tell you!) and I came across an article on David Cameron in TIME, entitled: "David Cameron: UK's Next Leader?"

Personally, I don't think the question mark was necessary!

It was a good article. On the' general interest' scale, I'd give it 8 out of ten. For 'balance', I'd give it a 6 - but for the MSM (mainstream media) that's not bad going.

Boring headline of the year award


She's the most talked-about woman in the world at the moment.

She's on the cover this week of half a dozen magazines, including the US, Asia, and South Pacific editions of 'Time'.

Yet, for all the power, grace, guts, determination and intrigue she offers, Time comes up with the blandest, most understated, insipid and plain boring headline I've seen in years.

They may as well have put 'Story about woman from Alaska'.

Thank God Time's sub-editors aren't writing Palin's speeches!
