| Who read the article in the Sunday Mail about how friendly the US and UK have been to Greeks over the years? As expected form this paper, it was the usual Uncle Tom fawning to our former colonial masters. Does this paper have no shame? It seems to be completely devoid of any journalistic balance. Week after week, propaganda that would have made the former Soviet PRAVDA blush with shame, are splashed across its front paper. The articles appear to have spewed through somebody’s back passage. |

WOW there IS someone in Cyprus that likes the US and UK.
But I am sure they must be traitors to the Cyprus Cause. hmmmm
Enough said. Steping out of this as I know what the Liberal / Communist comments will be. |

| I dont who you are , but by your logo are you an American? Or are you being ironic? Anyway, its not a matter of likes or dislikes. I am quite ambivalent. What I find nauseating is a putrid rag like the Cyprus Mail with a very disturbing agenda. At worst insidous at best appalling journalism. |

The Cyprus mail considered the Annan Plan as the pure and holy word of God carved into a tablet by one God's lightning bolts.
It position was how dare the Greek Cypriots refuse to forfeit their human rights, European Court of Human Rights Judgments, UN resolutions. The plan said bend over and take a bit more- 32 years of ethnic cleansing of the Greek Cypriot refugees is not enough lets make the ethnic cleansing institutionalised through an international treaty.
I can't understand how this Bird cage liner has been in business for so long! |

| Yes it’s strange. If the people invited its reader for a party they could hold it in telephone kiosk. What I find sickening, is the paper is actively anti Greek. Week after week it just viciously attacks this country. They even refer to Cyprus as a plantation. You wouldn’t mind but the journalists appear to have graduated from the same night school. |

Leonidas, I apologise for the idiotic remarks of these people, it is an embarrassment.
Being Anti American stopped being cool in 2003. Shut the f**k up.
Anyway, back to the post, as you prob have noticed Leo, anything the english written newspapers do or say is immediately perceived to be biased or somehow pro- an old empire that ceased to exist years ago.
I'm sorry but most of the news presented in the mail is taken from news feeds from international, highly funded and well staffed news agencies. Like reuters for example.
I have more faith in news taken from the international press pool, than from news written and produced by some village cowboy.
stop living in the dark ages, oh ignorant Brit bashers. |
