Current rating: 0
07 Mar 2005
On January 28, Professor Fred Jaher of the U of I published a Guest Commentary in the News-Gazette casting anti-Semitic aspersions on local Presbyterian pastors for joining the larger church in promoting divestment from companies doing business with Israel.

Sex, Lies and Spies: This Isn't News?
Current rating: 0
07 Mar 2005
The story of James D. Guckert (a.k.a. Jeff Gannon) broke Jan. 26. It started as a blip of a controversy over a little-known "reporter" for a conservative website asking a kiss-up question at a White House briefing. Bloggers investigated "Gannon's" identity and found that he had little training in journalism and an apparent connection to male prostitution.

N.Y. Times Has Really Bad Day On Torture, The Constitution, & Pentagon Mendacity
Current rating: 0
07 Mar 2005
In any case, what isn't in today's Times says a lot about what a sluggish, bureaucratic entity that newspaper has become, how much it rather consistently misses stories that need to be brought to light for the health of our democracy, and how little its coddling attitudes toward the centers of power in Washington have changed since Noam Chomsky began referring to the Times a number of years ago as part of the "business press" -- indeed, it appears that, since 9/11, they've actually gotten worse on national security issues.
