That stuff doesn't show up in OUR press!

Well, most of the time.

Now Tim, let's be reasonable in this assessment; Britain is after all, only an island in the Atlantic, while our country forms part of a massive continent. Of course they have the time and space to run puff pieces like this, while in our news media it's basically a given fact that the majority of time be alloted to hard news stories, such as: hip-hop "artist" rearranges the face of his love interest, and singer on the verge of a nervous breakdown due to a half-inch increase in her waist size, etc., etc., ...................
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

I won't go any further, but note that I said 'press' not JOURNALIST's - we haven't any stateside.  Perhaps a rare exception now and then.
