  1. World News Tonight with Peter Jennings started about Lance winning the Tour
    with the clip that shows him riding over the infamous EPO Lance sign written
    in the road. Also they showed the germans spitting on him. Think they could
    of been a little more negative. Why couldn't they of highlighted some of the
    better moments of the Tour instead of focusing on the negative. It was too
    short and stupid anyway.

    Not to fear. Those images will never be seen in the official US version of
    the Tour produced by World Cycling Productions.

    Who's producing the negative version just in case I want to see Iraq's
    version of the war?

  4. Well as soon as you said Peter Jennings I expected the worst possible
    coverage. The guy is on the other side.

    Because not everyone wants to suck on Lance's [censored] like you do.

    Dipshit, I'm not in group who's calling Lance the greatest rider of all
    time, not ever the greatest tour rider of all time. I was interested in how
    the media plays it. Get your head out of your ass.

    Whatever were you expecting from them. This is how they are. This is their
    outlook. It is stupid to watch network news unless you want to wallow in the
    negativity of it all.

    Well there is a good life lesson for you:

    The news focuses on the negative and is too short and stupid.

    I don't watch NBC, CBS or ABC that much at all for the news. I use the
    Internet to get the really juicy stuff. I watch CNN to get flashes or
    sometimes MSNBC, sometimes Fox. Don't care for Rather much, like Brokaw
    some, Jennings less. Sometimes PBS new hour.

    PBS is the only network to go into enough depth to get stuff really wrong.

    I pity people who volunteer to be interviewed by the BBC, particularly
    those with a skeleton or two in the closet. While BBC have taken a
    shellacking for the Dr David Kelly affair (which I don't honestly
    believe Kelly was wrong, but politics being what they are...), some of
    the BBC interviewers don't shy away from the hard questions, those
    which reveal even over the radio some discomfort and tell you someone
    knows a lot more than they are saying. To their credit they've done
    this with monsters like Idi Amin and lived to tell about it.
