Thought I was just reading for amusement, as I do appreciate the comments and links to sites all over the grid. And then the hilarious scare tactic to send off some link to the moonie washington times? Comon, should someone cower to such a threat? If you are in cahoots with them, please ask them to comment on how quickly secret service was dispatched to collect the publications in DC that morning. The rest of that story does however go on, in case someone wants to read whole article about the cover-ed up homo prostitution sex-ring of the Reagan/Bush White House (page1page2).
Questioning the validity of a source is healthy and wise. All too often red/blue/green/pink soapboxers only regurgitate points of one slant. Did anyone refer to Faux news as a reliable source?
I went through the 9 page forum about âWhatâs going right in Iraqâ, which started by quoting an article from nationalreview.com, which actually just promotes an OpEd from some no-name Brent Walker for the website that describes itself as the âMulti-National Force - Iraq official web siteâ mnf-iraq.com. Hmmm. Alternative media is definately required to counter such rosy bed of fubar. How about âIraq for Saleâ (its an online movie, you wonât see on BBC/CNN/etc⊠yet.)
I donât think I saw these links on previous pages of this forum, so for the benefit of those looking for non-White House/KarlRove-approved news:
Every now and then a fresh Daniel Elsberg blows a lie-stopping whistle. When we catch an understanding of some hidden realities that mainstream media balks at covering, we just have to be willing to do what we can promote truth into enough minds of reasonable people to force the media to cover the truth⊠instead of waiting for heavy-dollar propaganda to tell us âWWIII came to our door to kill our libertyâ.
Citizens of conscience⊠seek truth, and donât cower to party-line media mouthpieces.

[quote]Think Progress » SURVEY: Daily Show/Colbert Viewers Most Knowledgable, Fox News Viewers Rank Lowest:
A new study by the Pew Research Study shows that viewers of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report have the highest knowledge of national and international affairs, while Fox News viewers rank nearly dead last:[/quote]
In fairness, fans of the OâReilly Factor and Rush werenât far behind. Fox has been shown to mislead its viewers, but anyone taking in the top ranking programs is probably already informed or attuned to whatâs going on.
A few favourites for me in no specific order. www.theonion.com You probably already know this one. From the USA, but sometimes quoted by newspapers in China⊠www.smh.com.au The Sydney morning herald. abc.net.au/tv/chaser/war/ An Australian TV show. landoverbaptist.org/ wonderful religious news from the USA.
Neither liberal nor conservative. Just the economic crisis - with opinions to be sure - but great reporting by a couple of âamateursâ who make the âprofessionalsâ look like the fools they are.
Here is a link to a page of âforeignâ newspapers from all over the world. From the Adelaide Advertiser to the Yugoslavia Today its about 50 - 60 different newspaper site links.
Every once in a while the opinion pieces are interesting, and while they deal with NZ issues (like power companies raping the country) some could be pertinent to other countriesâ issues.
