Friends, Below are the articles that the BBC considers to be the 'top stories of the day'. There's not one of them that I would consider worthy of posting to newslog.

The propagandistic nature of the mainstream media is reflected not so much in the lies it tells, but in the events it doesn't even mention. rkm -------------------------------------------------------- BBC DAILY E-MAIL: UK EDITION Thursday, 06 December, 2007, 23:00 GMT 23:00 +00:00:Europe/Dublin ...............................
