Can we say "Pravada"?

Exactly why I watch the BBC World News instead of anything from a US station. Also, Greenspan said today that private investors AND central banks are switching from the dollar to the EURO.

This is really bad news for our economy. Of course, last month someone noted that Latin American drug dealers had already swapped to the Euro and wouldn't deal in US dollars. Combined with the housing market slump, this is officially the beginning. The stock market is up as the excess liquidity from real estate speculators seeks somewhere else to be.

Can we say "censorship of the press?" Good, I knew you could!

Just a different version of "fair and balanced" :-O

Bread and circuses.

Speaking of which, ISC wants to put a NASCAR track in Kitsap County and have us pay for it.

I saw that. Its scary but somehow not a surprise. Forest spent a few weeks in the US as you know and one of his first comments to me was that the tv news was weird because it didn't seem to include much, you know, news, except what had happened 2 miles up the road. TV news is often bad though, for something like Newsweek to compromise? Not a good sign :(

I forget why they gave up on Marysville (or wherever up there) but hopefully when it is voted down there it won't magically appear anyway.

It was 'Pravda' and yeah.

http://pure-agnostic.livejournal.com/130225.html has a lovely bit about how the US has slid downwards in Reporters Sans Frontieres' international rankings over the last five years.

Wha?????

Um.... Why??? My respect for Newsweek has plummeted.

They sell what they perceive people will buy - I keep telling people this, and it just isn't sinking in.

Our press isn't free - it's for sale to the highest bidder. Every. Single. Day.

A few people have already used the most appropriate words to describe this, so I'll use another one: "Typical". ;)

[washuotaku.livejournal.com]

Honestly... I don't see the difference... seems about the same either way.

You know, when Newsweak, known for being somewhere only slightly to the right of Teddy Kennedy, knuckles under and gives Dubya a free pass...

I really hope two weeks from now proves beyond all doubt that King George hasn't 0wn3d the ballot machines... otherwise? We're screwed.

Holy crap...!

My life in pictures? now THAT'S a story i can wrap my brain around!

Just wanted to say, beautiful and perfect icon for this post.

[dracowayfarer.livejournal.com]

I was going to write that you're a few weeks behind on posting this...

...but then everyone replied and hadn't seen it either.

So I'll just be over here agreeing that it's fucked up.

Nope. Had no clue. Head. Desk.
