i find it kind of hilarious that on the mainpage of cnn.com the main story is about Bush and Blair talking without knowing the mic was on. but then we go to world news and it talks about 86 people dieing in a tsunami. i guess its more important that bush said "shit" then it is to hear about people dying in yet another tsunami

http://www.dn.se
http://news.bbc.co.uk/

And Fox News has the Israeli/Lebanon crisis plastered all over its homepage and the fact that over 200 people have died in it.

Yeah, but its funny when CNN has some weekend fill in talking about Israel and Fox News comments on the dangerousness of flooding.
Priorities? Hah!
(I get my news from bbc.co.uk)
The BBC website puts the Bush thing in an obscure sub category in small writing about 2/3 down the front page.

It's weird. It's like 'America' isnt real news! :p
Hello? We're **********ing America, man! We are the only news there is! Screw the 80 people who died in Indonesia, they need to stop having earthquakes.
