We were horrified when Fox News started airing in New Zealand last year. We endure enough punishment from Kiwis about our nationality without Bill O'Reilly and that moron Sean Hannity making things worse. But, one unexpected side benefit is that we occasionally get to see Stacey's friend from college Jonathan Serrie (aka Karim) doing one of his hard-hitting exposés. Jonathan keeps an online blog of his journalistic adventures which some of you might enjoy and find informative.
Jonathan's a very talented and dedicated reporter, despite our feelings about his employer. But he hasn't quite made it big time yet and we know this because he doesn't have his playlist available online. Get with it, Jonathan! Everyone knows the real measure of a journalist these days is what they have on their iPod.
Seriously though - keep up the good work. Next time we're back in Atlanta we look forward to having some margaritas and cheese dip with the old gang. In the meantime, stay clear of those right-wing nutjobs you work with! =)

ah yes, i fondly remember one of his early pieces, "i've matured since then," about the legal drinking age in georgia. and his call for a "maximum drinking age." good times.
i spent a couple of weeks in NZ last March. One of our hosts had Sky and we were disappointed to find Fox News as the main american news outlet. Our hosts asked a few questions about the states and you could tell they were getting their info from Fox's quite slanted perspective. Embarrassing....
I am sorry that I never did meet Karim while Stacey was in Atlanta, but I know that she spoke of him quite often.
Good to see that he has "made it".
