Don't worry Mr. Standaert. I'm a U2 fan, and I didn't hear anything about this until today, either.

Saints preserve us from self-important journalists.

The only thing that would make this more pathetic would be if the guy was a blogger.

Yes, a blogger who was upset because he emailed for an invitation and didn't receive a reply within 3 minutes/

It didn't say political leaders.

Gore is a leader of Global Warming campaigning, Murdoch is a leader in putting half-naked women in British 'newspapers' and other sources of media and Bono is a leader in the field of wearing sunglasses and self-rightiousness.

Oh, and he might have helped start something called the One Campaign. I heard that rumor somewhere.

Since the US won the cold war your ideology has been out of style. No more party invites for you.

I always wondered what people I don't know think about issues I don't care about. Now I know, and though it's frightening, I feel better.

I just came here to say that when I first read the headline, I was certain it said "communist."

I laugh at the idea that when someone sees "Gore, Bono, and Murdoch" together in a sentence, he or she calls Bono the tool.

That's the self-rigtheous assholes that are "the media." The only rights they care about are their own.

It's like how the embedded journalists willingly put our troops at risk by broadcasting behind enemy lines against direct orders to do so.

Sure you're giving away troop locations, but at least you have a shot at a media created award of recognition.
