You think the news media should be reporting on two long dead guys instead of the one on the list who is still alive?
Here is a different question for you. Who currently has the potential to do the most damage to the world? Visa and one other person on the list.
Maybe if the world media had the power they do today and had been really down on Hitler and Stalin they wouldn't have been able to get away with what they did.
It's not a bad thing when the media is critical of government. In fact, many people believe that the media in a free society is part of the system of checks and balances.
Regardless of what the European media might be doing, the right leaning U.S. media has been kissing Bush's ass and defending him since he was elected. Only in the last month have we started to see a tiny bit of objectivity in their coverage of Bush.
If the U.S. media treated Bush like they treated Clinton, the guy would have been impeached or resigned by now.
