I do read the Economist random thoughts Send a noteboard - 03/06/2017 04:24:52 PM

As well surprisingly enough The Guardian. I don't read them daily but I don't read ouut watch any news source on a daily basis.to be honest the present political environment is toxic and the media has taken such a lead in that toxicity that I consume way less news than I used to.

My reading habits don't change the validity of my point. I see no evidence that Europeans worry about how they are viewed in America but some Americans seemed obsessed with how we are viewed over there. You are correct that I don't consume that much foreign media so if I am incorrect I would be interested to see some evidence of that but until you do take your ignorance comments and shove them.

You can say 'no it doesn't', but it would help if you then provided arguments. Legolas - 05/06/2017 10:43:36 AM 620 Views
I provided evidence. You didn't. Surely you can see the hypocrisy in your answer. *NM* Tom - 08/06/2017 05:28:37 AM 339 Views
Sure, we both provided evidence, but not of the serious comparison with numbers variety. Legolas - 08/06/2017 06:41:52 PM 671 Views
