Am I missing something? Someone else just posted the direct link, and I
saw it over a month ago. Have I fallen out of a timewarp?

yes, there was a comment somewhere in the guardian about the irony of
the Americans celebrating an anti imperialist event today.

I wished an American of my aquaintance a happy 4th of July and then
immediately asked how her application for UK citizenship was coming.
Many Americans don't agree with much that goes on. Worth remembering.

Very true indeed.

Unfortunately though - from my own experiences over there - many do and,
what's even worse, many believe what they read in the US press......

You commie, liberal, observer-reading, new labour voting, robert fisk

So you believe everything you read in the British press?

tut tut. You need a crash course in European scepticism.

That was the point. No one here - do they ? - believes anything in the
press - apart from readers of the Daily Spite and newspaper editors of
course. But, many Americans seem to think that if it's written in the
press then it must be true.

How else can they publish the National Enquirer and get away with it ?

It's a cultural cynicism that the US hasn't quite caught up with. The
National Enquirer is by far and away the best bang for your cent available
in hte US. It is _hysterically_ funny.

TV news in the US is even scarier, if you ask me. It' lack of international
issues is incredibly irresponsible.
