Oh, absolutely. People talk about CNN and CBS and Fox News as being these vessels steered by politics, but it's nothing compared to what a lot of international media is like. And lots of Americans just automatically assume that foreign press is superior to ours because it's not ours, but other nations' standards of press freedom really don't measure up at all. I think it was Sudan recently where one of the journalists following Condi Rice got roughed up by some Sudanese officials and when the journo went "Hey, what about freedom of the press?", the official went "We don't do that here".
