    Apparently, this is a response to pressure from FOX News who has always offered free video.

    Well, first of all, it's nice to see that Fox 'News' is actually good for something...

    Although 'free' might be an exaggeration, as you do have to pay for the video by sitting through an obligatory advertisment before you get to the good stuff...but that's OK...the part of my brain that processes commercials is just a big knot of scar tissue anymore. Anyway, you're on your computer, so you can use that time to do constructive things, like find and mark a few mines, or put the red seven on the black eight.

    Naked news is still paid service. Yes people pay for that.

    Americans also have a skewed idea of what it means to be 'right wing'. Your average 'right wing' European is for walling up the nations borders and uses near facist rhetoric when talking about cultural integrity and when speaking against immigration.

    The US is a place of centrist. The European left and right and miles left and right (resepctivly) of American left and right. Paralmentary systems naturally tend to bring in people from a very large spectrum, both left and right. The American system on the other hand tends to move people into the middle. The US surely right (in terms of economics) of Europe, but don't let the fact that the American left is not that far left confuse you as to how far left they are. They both have their advantages.

    Ignore these guys, Trip. They just want to tick you off. I'll wager that all the votes for #1 were probably made by the parent himself. In fact, all of these trolls are probably the same person who seems to be absolutely obsessed with you. They should join the GNAA - they are clearly gay in their obsession and mentally ill as all other members for pursuing you in such a sick way.

    Why do you hate freedom?

    Research shows that the BBC is to the left of even the two most liberal senators in the US Senate. [opinionjournal.com] This makes it unsafe to watch. Also, it's funded by obligatory public subscription, which is un-American and almost socialistical.

    Watch Fox news instead, where honest men and women tell it like they were told it is.
