There's no perfect analogy though. True enough. On the back of that 'Derry Day' paper there was a reference to the Boer war and the support for the British in that particular war. Fair enough, I can understand that. But then later on he speaks along the lines of all Protestants standing together. I thought ....right,is that everybody except the Dutch Reformed Church. BTW I watched a programme which said that King Billy was the only Protestant ever on the throne of England. Couldn't figure that one out,still can't. But the only conclusion I could come to was that King Billy was of the Dutch Reformed Church. All the kings and queens of England/Britain were either C.O.E or R.C. He must not have reckoned that they were truly Reformed or Protestant.
Yeah the media has a lot to answer for in the way this world is today. What we see on TV from America most people here would form their opinions on that. Same with us when the 'troubles' started. The media presented a lot of biased reports. One side in these reports were described as 'demonstrators' and 'protestors'. The other side were described as 'mobs' and 'thugs'. No prizes for guessing which was which.
Thats it, about cornering the media. Maybe someday we will see more and more from Alabama and Tennessee. The coverage here of the contenders for the President nominations was definely biased in favour of the Democrats. Obama/Clinton/Biden, were on quite a few ocassions the leading news story. The McCain/Palin coverage was well down in the news items. They have that power to sell what/who they favour.
