As for US news stations take your pick....the top story will be about what celeb is doing what and about 20 minutes in we'll get a death toll for Iraq...that or they'll ignore Phelp's swimming and talk about a father/daughter tug-o-war over a towel and call it a beating!
The Beeb is the only reliable news. ;)
What? I thought the top story would be who is in rehab.....again.
