So, Ahmadinejad, I still think you're full of shit, but you know how to play the game. Either that, or you're really, really stupid.
And what is wrong with the news lately? I should've gone into journalism instead of medicine because I can do a hell of a lot better than these people.
The BBC coverage, while fairly impartial, apparently does not find it in good taste to have the transcript of the statement available anywhere on its site, simply excerpts (
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6157311.stm).
CNN feels it is necessary to hide the article as one must go from the main page where there is no mention of anything related to the statement, to world news where there is no mention of anything related to the statement, scroll down to the middle east subcategory where there is no mention of anything related to the statement, to the middle eastern news page itself where you can finally find a lovely little article where they proceed to put many words in poor Mahmoud's mouth. However, in CNN's defense, they did include a link to the statement itself (

In comparison to these two, which obviously doesn't say much, MSNBC deserves a trophy. The article is listed in plain view on the main page, remains within the realm of impartial journalism, though don't get me started on that little "More From NBC News" box in the middle of the page, AND includes a link to the address itself. If it wasn't for the Walmart ads in the middle of the damn article, MSNBC would have a little bit of my respect (

Kholaaseh, I already knew CNN was terrible, but ugh, BBC, I'm very disappointed in you. I'd expect this behavior from Fox News (because rednecks are too lazy to read anything over two sentences, especially something written by one of them Ayrabs), but come on. When you can find more information on CNN, that's just embarrassing.
