Simviation Forums

Remember when the Philippines was having a bit of a storm over impeaching the President?  Well I found this article.

Pretty ho hum yes, until I saw the date: 24.2.06.  What?  Wasn't that a couple weeks ago?  Why wasn't this in the news?  If George Bush sneezes it makes headlines, yet the enire fate of a country was nearly changed and all we heard about was the inane drivel of oscars or golden globes or some other worthless award show.  All these shows ought to be napalmed.  Everything from the red carpet to the stupid little "goodie packs" the professional liars get for showing up.

Good to know we're being kept up to date. This is why I stopped watching TV and just keep a list of sites to check every now and then.  Random Googling doesn't hurt either.  And Simviation.

yea i agree, i stopped watching TV long ago. My two main sources are Google News, and Conservative Talk Radio

I was actually thinking a more international approach.

BBC, Al-Jazeera, Mainichi etc.

It did appear in the BBC News website Also the Guardian Online carried an article about it.

Forget TV and buy some serious newspapers to get informed.

But wait...for sport events TV is still unbeatable.  ;D

please tell me you are joking

I never listen to any news at all. Unless, of course, it's about good things [like fund raisers, technology improvements, etc.].

'Google Alerts' are the way to go.

Find out what is REALLY happening in your world.

I am joking.

But that would be a lie.

"Serious" , "newspapers" seem mutually exclusive nowadays.
