Agreed here for sure. If the US "media handling" of the S. Osetia issue is any indicator, I'd guess that there appears to be some sort of need to re-start the cold war, at least among present administration in US. All media talkers presenting a consistently obviously biased or worse take on the affair. "Georgia attacks S. Ossetia, problem is Russia's fault" indeed! I'm to the point where I only believe BBC, and that only half the time.

Believe the Beeb HALF the time, Len. Blimey! No disrespect but -- aren't you being a bit trusting? Never believe a word of their 'news' and current affairs ouput unless it can be confirmed by somewhere a long way away. Al Jazeerah or Asia Times, maybe, for example.
