Proving that the brainwashing exists on both sides of the fence, I doubt these messages are those of peace and reconciliation. An eye for an eye? Why the hell not apparently.

On the bus home from work at uni, reading the news and read explosions in London underground on the Sydney Morning Herald. Since then I’ve sat down for dinner, and turned on the tele to see that the 7:30 Report has been extended for half an hour to cover the events. Instead of watching the streamed content from the BBC via the ABC we’ve turned across to the BBC World News channel itself which is covering the news in depth.

Interesting to note is how slow Google’s news section has been in picking up the feeds coming out across the media organisations.

Stay tuned to the BBC for more information.
