Lebanon: Some Primetime Lies From US Media Jonathan Cook, Arab News Monday, 31, July, 2006 Last week I had the pleasure to appear on American radio, on the Laura Ingraham show, pitted against David Horowitz, a “Semite supremacist” who most recently made his name under the banner of Campus Watch, leading McCarthyite witch-hunts against American professors who have the impertinence to suggest that maybe, just maybe, Arabs have minds and feelings like the rest of us.

Horse-Eating Foreigners Finding Friends In United States Congress By John Hanchette August 1, 2006
Olean - For a while, this newspaper was one of the lonely few covering the fervid national debate over horses and whether they are just livestock and food for foreigners, or something more respected and treasured in American culture.

Bits Of Homeland Stupidity By: Michael Hampton Posted: July 31, 2006 12:52 am Your government is slow, inefficient and stupid. It’s a miracle it ever manages to get anything done.
I like it that way.

Why I Quit Radio By Mike Hudson August 1, 2006 If there’s one true thing about doing radio it’s that, to do it good, you’ve got to be pretty high while you’re doing it. Take Rush Limbaugh, for example. He couldn’t get one doctor to give him enough oxycontin to do his radio program, so he went around to a half-dozen doctors to supply him with multiple prescriptions of the so-called "hillbilly heroin" so that he could get through his show high as a kite.
He’s got three stints in rehab to (…)

Two nations stand out above all others as notorious serial abusers of UN resolutions - the US and Israel. Over the last half century, the US has used its Security Council veto many dozens of times to prevent any resolutions from passing condemning Israel for its abusive or hostile actions or that were inimical to Israeli interests. It’s also voted against dozens of others overwhelmingly supported by the rest of the world in the UN (…)

Friends True and False
Israel Shamir - Shamireaders July 26, 2006

It came to stay for a while, and as the first shock of the battle for Lebanon is over, the picture clears up. First, the news.
