McGrath: Are you serious? You don't think the Guardian's purpose is to influence the U. S. election? Then why did they do it?

I think most americans believe that we have ample news outlets in our own country for any citizen to become informed about the candidates, and their supporters and make up their own minds.

We really don't need the Brits or anyone else to tell us how to vote, or for who. Likewise, I think it would be outrageous for an American newspaper to do the same (if it were possible to influence the British vote.)

And Guest Jon: you are correct, I think. I think the majority of us don't care one way or another what the citizens of other countries think about our president or our government. However, when a country gets in trouble, they do not hesitate to look to the U. S. for help, right? And they usually get it.
