Well, while the American media maybe 100% focused on pedophile priests, Brit news has been covering Bush's "inconsistent" stance on the Middle East, PM Blair's close relationship with Bush, the actions of British Royal Marines in taking over a large part of the Afghan ground war, etc.
The US war on terror has moved into a phase of training locals to effectively fight terrorists. Right now, a major focus is in the Philipines where we've been training the locals to fight the Muslim seperatists who want an independant Philipino-Muslim state in the southern Philipines and have been taking hostages, including US citizens. I beleive there was a major rescue operation recently that retrieved several hostages. Even here it is being downplayed.
A major focus of the news here has been the perception that Blair traded Bush's condemnation of Isreal and support of the Palestinians for the UK's support of any action against Iraq.
Also an article on CNN about how the Bush administration and several of the states settled out of court with Microsoft in what is being described as a "sweetheart deal".

Quote:Bush is just one of those presidents we do not hear or see, is that a good thing?Nope, we need to see and hear what this guy is up to.
