MPAA rejects Gibney’s ‘Dark’ poster<\/a>
\nThe MPAA has rejected the poster art for Alex Gibney’s documentary “Taxi to the Dark Side,”<\/em> which traces the pattern of torture practice from Afghanistan’s Bagram prison to Abu Ghraib to Guantanamo Bay. The reason for the rejection was the hood over the head of a prisoner. Perhaps the MPAA would have preferred if there were no hood so the prisoner’s bruises and expression of abject fear were plain to see?<\/p>\n

Does Al-Jazeera belong in the USA?<\/a>
\nPolitical pressure is keeping the network off of American TV. Politicians and pundits should not be answering this question. Cable and satellite companies ought to broadcast AJE free from political pressures; then Americans can watch it and answer for themselves. Unfortunately, politicians are even more afraid of Americans judging things for themselves than they are of Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n

CSPAN’s coverage is 51% right wing think tank<\/a>
\nA new study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research “finds that right-wing think tanks got 51 percent of C-SPAN’s total coverage in 2006, while left-of-center think tanks only got 18 percent of their coverage (a mere 5 percent of which were \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcprogressive’ think tanks). CSPAN is becoming almost as fair and balanced as Fox News.<\/p>\n

Bill O’Reilly: The Internet is a high-tech “Lord of the Flies”<\/a>
\nIn this op-ed O’Reilly says that “The Internet is profoundly changing the behavior of American children and stunting their emotional growth.”<\/em> The author of “Kids Are Americans Too” also says that “kids have always been dumb.”<\/em> Of course they have. Why should they be any different than O’Reilly and his brand of “American?”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
