Bits of the two Michael Moore films came swimming back through my memory yesterday.
F911 – Sadly funny that you can take four books of matches or two butane lighters on a plane still, but not nail clippers. Just so the tobacco industry can ensure that smokers can light up when they arrive at their destination.
F911 - Heard that Cuba played a bootleg version of F911 on TV this week...
BfC – I forgot to mention the sanest person in the film – Marilyn Manson. What he said about the news scaring the bejesus out of the viewer and then the commercials selling safety and security is so, so true.
I've given up on watching the BBC news as I find it so patronizing and stylized – they've shifted way over to the US model since I left the UK. I hate, hate, hate the two-hander 6 o'clock news, and Fiona Bruce emoting all over t'place. Thank goodness for the RTBF news – sober and old-fashioned. Give me Fabienne Vande Meersche and François
De Brigode any day.

I like Fabienne Vande Meersche myself ..................
BBC stil beats US news . Not as show biz laden , middle east coverage isn't written by the istaeli embassy , and I'd love to sleep with Tristana Moore..........
