By : Solve et Coagula - Saturday April 4, 2009 Now you see them, now you don’t: Orthodox Israeli newspapers Photo-shop out female Cabinet ministers By MAIL FOREIGN SERVICE 3rd April 2009 Two women serve in Israel’s new Cabinet - but some Israelis would rather not see them.

By : Daveparts - Friday February 27, 2009 By David Glenn Cox http://theservantsofpilate.com It was announced yesterday that the San Francisco Chronicle is in danger of shutting down. Founded in the days of the California gold rush, the Chronicle was once staffed by writers such as Mark Twain and Bret Harte. But those days are long gone; what with I-Pods and laptops, who reads newspapers anymore? I can’t say that I know much about the Chronicle, being almost 3,000 miles away from it; I’ve never read it. Maybe it was a (...)

Lounis merely sold the French daily at the Dejean Market, in the 18th ’arrondissement’ in Paris... where he had been selling it for 20 years.

BTW, have you caught the other dirty little secret that they have been sitting of for the last eight years about Sen. McCain the current GOP front runner for that parties nod for POTUS?

By : William Hughes - Tuesday July 17, 2007 “It is quite possible that we are now descending into an age in which two and two will make five when the Leader says so.” — George Orwell Until April 5, 2007, Baltimore, Maryland was a one-daily-newspaper town. “The Sun” monopolized the print scene. Now, it has competition with the arrival of the feisty “Baltimore Examiner.” It’s a tabloid and a freebee, too, relying on ads to support itself. So far, it has been doing a competent job on the (...)

In 2006, there was a dozen of us telling ourselves: What is happening to Denis is inadmissible and frankly unbelievable!

By : Daveparts - Tuesday May 22, 2007 To find subjects to write about I sometimes peruse the foreign press. Amazingly, I find great numbers of news stories that cease to be news once they cross the borders of the good old U.S.A. Perhaps it is our obsession with ourselves a sort of a whole nation contemplating their navel. After all between American Idol, drunken starlets and missing and murdered white women not every thing can make the front page.

By : truthista - Tuesday November 7, 2006 In the classic movie, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, mainstream newspapers refuse to publish reports of idealistic Senator Jefferson Smith’s battle against Congressional corruption. Thus, it falls to an informal network of concerned citizens and newspaper boys to get out the truth.  Today, fiction became reality as word came that a Minnesota newspaper, the Pioneer Press, has refused to publish an op-ed supportive of Coleen Rowley, Democratic candidate for the 2nd District.
