Yeup,  you've given the search engine priority of MSNBC...searching for
the murder trial article is secondary.

I get the same results; "We did not find results for: 00064120173229. Try
the suggestions below or type a new query above."  Even if I change the
000 to 011 (our exit exchange) I get the same msg...however, when I modify
the search to 011 64 120 3229 you get a page full of possibilities. Add
'phone' to the front of that and you get some really interesting results.

Hmmm. We get the BBC news and I've never bothered to make a comparison
with CNN; basically because I can't stand listening to British English.
The German news in English is much better, as they speak English like it
is supposed be used as does Chinese (Hong Kong or Shanghai) news in
English.

Just like Al Jazeera. Every one of them has a slant on the news according
to their own political agenda. I've seen the Russian news and have blocked
it from my viewing guide on our DirecTV satellite service...
