Seriously?
This passes as a news service?

And they forgot to mention that The HNIC gave Bush Jr. a ride on his presidential jet to the Nelson Mandela Memorial service...........

come gentle night. come loving black browed night
give me my romeo. and when he shall die
take him and cut him out in little stars
and he will make the face of heaven so fine
that all will be in love with night

Yep.

The news here is overall crap.
I used to think the news on the commercial stations in Oz were crap. They are full on integrity news services compared to the US news.
Best news I have seen however was the ABC, at least until SBS came along.
SBS news is/was the real deal. Not sure how its doing now and I recall it having some controversy not long ago.

Sorry, we didn't tell you sooner Zee, but the best news program in the US, particularly for their analysis, is the Daily Show with John Stewart, on Comedy Central.

And no, I am not making a joke (no really, I am not making a joke).

I don't know if it's the best in the US. It it's sure better than what I have seen of Fox News.
