I find this strange.

Here we are in the midst of an orange alert and there is not any mention of it at the BBC or Haaretz sites. This seems to be a pointed reminder of the myopic view our media take with this administration's warnings. I believe that the foriegn press knows we are being jerked around.

1. has nothing to do with news value

frankly, it's all about giving our lapdog press something else to fixate on, and they do it well, and the press answers in kind

BBC and Haaretz don't really care that the US admin says that there is a greater risk of threat to the US.

3. That is a good point.

It also belies the western mentality that we are all in this together.
Thanks to * we are very, very alone.

6. also I heard on the news

that a lot of intelligence for this alert came from England. Could that be why so many people are ignoring this?

9. The intelligence for this

is coming from a radical right wing conservative and his name is Jeremy Reynalds.

Code Orange: Is it based on an Internet Hoax?

7. it was mentioned in the Dutch media

what they didn't mention is the 9-11 commission finding the attack could have been prevented.

8. International DUers check in.

Any other countries besides the USA under alert?

11. *cough* Link from BBC talking about US heightened alert status *cough*

Of course England isn't going too pay as much attention too this threat, it's not against them! But too say that there was "not any mention of it" at the BBC site is just plain silly and misleading.

But since you missed it, and this is only one of the articles I've seen, here you go:

Click me too read a BBC article that according too bigendian doesnt exist

12. Pardon me for asking...
