Sean Penn: British media pushing war vs. Argentina (AP)

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay ? Sean Penn is accusing British media of opting for war over diplomacy to resolve the United Kingdom's dispute with Argentina about the islands that both countries claim in the far South Atlantic.

The Oscar-winning actor said in Uruguay that British journalists had twisted his comments the day before in support of Argentina's push for a U.N.-sponsored negotiated settlement to the sovereignty dispute.

Penn said Tuesday night that "Good journalism saves the world. Bad journalism destroys it."

London's conservative Daily Mail called Penn's statement "an ugly attack on the press" by a "left-wing U.S. actor" in its Wednesday editions and quoted Parliament member Patrick Mercer as labeling Penn's comment "moronic."
