Sudan: Reactions to the ICC charges against al-Bashir Since the ICC's prosecutor asked for an arrest warrant for President al-Bashir of Sudan a few days ago, there haven't been many big reactions in the Sudanese blogosphere (although we covered reactions of several bloggers elsewhere in Africa in this roundup). However, the Sudanese debate has been alive and full of passion on Facebook. globalvoicesonline.org Saturday, July 19, 2008O'Reilly: 'AP May Now Be Dead As an Objective News Organization' The fallout that began a week ago after the publication of the Associated Press's Tony Snow obituary continues.
Fox News's Bill O'Reilly took his concerns about it to the top of AP, and didn't like the response he received. He shouldn't.
In his column this morning at Townhall.com, he reaches a conclusion about the self-described "Essential Global News Network" that is becoming increasingly difficult to deny.
In his column this morning at Townhall.com, he also reaches a conclusion about the self-described "Essential Global News Network" that is becoming increasingly difficult to deny.
In their Snow obituary, the AP's Douglass K. Daniel, with assistance from Jennifer Loven, characterized the former White House Press Secretary as "not always (having) a command of the facts," questioning reporters' motives "as if he were starring in a TV show broadcast live from the West Wing," and turning his briefings into "personality-driven media event(s) s newsbusters.org Saturday, July 19, 2008PBS: Not Livin' Large in Ohio, Folks Can't Even Afford Meat? That's it. PBS has declared Ohio a disaster area. Things are so bad. PBS gravely warns, that folks in the Buckeye state can't even afford to buy meat for their dinner tables anymore. It's the end of civilization as we know it. Doom and gloom. Oh the humanity. It's the end of the world as we know it... at least for one Ohio family that PBS found to act as stand in for the rest of the state. To PBS all of Ohio is the Nunez family. And what is PBS' solution? Government aid, of course.
In a segment of All Things Considered (well, all things but common sense, anyway), PBS gives us Gloria Nunez whose family, we are told, was "built on cars." PBS gives us all sorts of sobbing, rending of clothes, wearing of sackcloth and gnashing of teeth for the Nunez', of course. But even PBS can't hide some of the glaring problems that Gloria and her family have surely brought upon themselves.
In fact, her story sounds like the scene in the old Blues Brothers movie where John Belushi is on his knees plead newsbusters.org Saturday, July 19, 2008Israel: Why did Israel Approve the Hezbollah Deal? A day after the controversial deal with Hezbollah, many Israelis are still puzzled and disappointed. Puzzled over why their government accepted the terms of this deal, knowing that the kidnapped soldiers were not alive. How did the government and security entities approve handing back live prisoners with blood on their hands for dead bodies? globalvoicesonline.org Saturday, July 19, 2008Palestine: The Word of the Israeli Against that of an Arab A few days after the release of Lebanese Samir Kuntar from three decades in an Israeli prison, Palestinians bloggers are reminded that when it is the word of an Israeli against that of an Arab, the Israeli's will always be the one to be considered. globalvoicesonline.org Saturday, July 19, 2008Tunisia: Where are the State Funerals? Eight Tunisians were among the 197 bodies handed over by Israel to Lebanon, in the latest prisoner swap between the two countries. Tunisian bloggers are calling for the return of their remains to their country - and honouring the dead in a state funeral. globalvoicesonline.org Saturday, July 19, 2008China: Looking back at a campus shooting "...the first few days with the cast were really strange, everyone kept whispering to each other wondering if I was a big kung fu master back in China."
Why does it always have to be so awkward when Chinese and Americans get together? globalvoicesonline.org Saturday, July 19, 2008Anchors w/ Obama 'Not Like North Korean TV Covering Kim Jong Il' Really? Will Katie Couric be as tough with Barack Obama as North Korean television is with Kim Jong Il? The last time Couric (and the other anchors to, for that matter) interviewed Obama the liberal Democrat had no more to fear from her and them than the communist dictator ever has from his state media.
Pressed at the TV critics session with the networks in Beverly Hills on Friday as to whether ABC, CBS and NBC sending their anchors along with Barack Obama on his overseas trip is "justified or reflect media infatuation with the presumptive Democratic nominee," the AP's Lynn Elber reported (as did the Washington Post's Lisa de Moraes) CBS News correspondent Jeff Greenfield predicted: "I have a strong hunch the people interviewing Obama will have tough questions. It's not like North Korean television covering (communist leader) Kim Jong Il." Couric, also appearing via satellite from New York City, promised: "It's not going to be like, 'How do you like the weather in Jordan, Senator?'"
Yet, when newsbusters.org Saturday, July 19, 2008Instead of a gas-tax holiday, Congress considers gas-tax hike They couldn't possibly be this stupid. feedburner.com Saturday, July 19, 2008McCain camp reacts to Maliki's call for withdrawal: Voters don't care what Iraqi leaders say. In response to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s clear statement in support of a 16-month redeployment from Iraq, a senior McCain official tells Marc Ambinder “[V]oters care about [the] military, not about Iraqi leaders.” A “prominent Republican strategist” who occasionally provides advice to the McCain campaign said more candidly, “We’re f*cked.” Recall, this is what [...] thinkprogress.org Saturday, July 19, 2008 1 2 3 Archived "Top blogs - News" opinions:
