Your story about the local weather is classic Whid. They do that kind of crap here from time to time too, but typically with the stockmarket folks. Never noticed anything similar in Australia, but it coulda happened.

The worst I ever saw, was ABC news back in the 80's. Reagan and Sam Donaldson got into a mini shouting match on the White House lawn, and I saw it on NBC or CBS, one of them.

After Reagan zinged Donaldson, the crowd cheered. (bunch of republicans i guess )

I turn it over to ABC to see what they have to say, and ABC shows the clip of what happened, then the video still shows, but the sound of the crowd cheering is magically gone. They edited it out, to make it look better for their reporter.


Happens all the time, sneaky people all around trying to pull a fast one on us.

Orwell's Grave... post #33  quote:

I work in a place called Didcot in Oxfordshire. George Orwell's grave is just 5 miles away from my office in a village called Sutton Courtenay. It's such a modest grave for a literary giant.

Animal Farm is one of my favourite Orwell novels.
Blair's Labour government epitomised this book. They turned into the pigs, having promised so much at the beginning of Labour's first term in office.

Preston.
