From CNN: Who Is Richard Mellon Scaife?He's very rich and very partisan, but is he behind an anti-Clinton conspiracy? By Brooks Jackson/CNN WASHINGTON (April 27) -- Who is Richard Scaife? He's a 65-year-old billionaire Republican wielding power from the shadows. According to President Bill Clinton's allies, he's the main money man behind a right-wing anti-Clinton conspiracy, attacking with his money. Former White House counsel Lanny Davis argues, "He's using it to destroy a president of the United States." If it's a conspiracy, it's a pretty open one. Scaife's tax-exempt foundations disclose their grants on the Web. Among them: $2.4 million over several years to American Spectator to pay for anti-Clinton reporting, even a private eye to dig up dirt. And millions more went to other anti-Clinton groups. The rest is at the page link above. SRS |

It's not really designed so much for reading as for ogling scantily clad women, however. The Scum is basically in favour of rich people, privatization, elimination of all taxes (and social services...), violence, hatred, scandal, sudden death, stiffer jail sentences, more jails, and as much capital punishment as is humanly possible. Oh, and they like wars a lot, but only when they are launched by a Republican administration. - LH |

20 Mar 04 - 10:42 PM (#1142053) Subject: RE: BS: Which Newspaper do you read? From: LadyJean Long ago, I worked for the Heritage Broadcast Institute. I wrote most of their newsletter. The rest of the HBA staff, a charming French Canadian gentleman, put together a schedule of ethnic radio programs, and wrote an editorial. I tracked down data on various ethnic organizations, and cute stories to fill the rest of the monthly publication. Rule number one was NO POLITICS. We encouraged our readers to trace their roots, respect other's ethnicity, and learn a second language. The editor crusaded fearlessly for more ethnic programming on radio and television, preferrably NOT on Sunday afternoons. Then one day, Mr. Scaife, who was funding the newsletter, decided we were communists. No more funding. No more newsletter. I could have told Mr. Clinton that Richard Scaife was a seven letter perjorative. So could most of the writers in town. |

As a lifelong newspaper junkie, the advent of online newspapers has only exacerbated my addiction. There are the usual suspects for news: Washington Post and NY Times for political coverage from the conservative and liberal perspectives respectively (BTW, the NY Times has become much more conservative since the Clinton days as well, IMO). My local provincial newspapers for local news. SF Chronicle, as I mentioned and also the LA Times on occassion. I read online news sites Common Dreams and AlterNet several times a week too, along with Reuters, Editor and Publisher, and Christian Science Monitor. For Euro News, I read the Beeb online, the Guardian, and occasionally the Irish Times or Indpendendent, and Agence France-Presse (AFP). Then there are the periodicals like Tikkun, Utne, Mother Jones, the Nation, World Press Review, and an occassional glance at Newsweek, Time, US News & World Report or the New Yorker. I occassionally read Business Week, almost always read PC World, and a number of other periodicals the library carries. Don't read many books nowadays, but I do read a lot of news and opinion. |

21 Mar 04 - 10:31 AM (#1142269) Subject: RE: BS: Which Newspaper do you read? From: GUEST And here is an interesting note from Editor & Publisher, on where Americans go for their online news: NEW YORK Seven of the top 20 news Web sites or groups in the U.S. during February were affiliated with newspapers, according to audience statistics from Nielsen//NetRatings. The top sites in Nielsen//NetRatings' Current Events & Global News category were Yahoo! News, CNN, MSNBC, AOL News, and Internet Broadcasting Systems Inc. -- which runs Web sites for local television stations. For the first time, Google News appears in the No. 20 slot, with 4.9 million unique users. Three individual newspaper sites were in the top 20: NYTimes.com, USAToday.com and washingtonpost.com. Newspaper chains on the list were Gannett, Knight Ridder, Tribune and Hearst. Nielsen//NetRatings classifies news Web sites according to the media companies' preferences; thus, some newspaper Web sites are counted individually in these rankings, while others are aggregated for a newspaper chainwide ranking. The rankings of current events and news sites were based on a panel of 60,000-plus Americans accessing the Web at work and home. One newspaper chain, E.W. Scripps, ranked in the top 20 of another Nielsen//NetRatings list -- the directories/local guides category. All of Scripps Newspapers' sites combined had 2.4 million unique users last month. |

After living here about five years, I started to subscribe to the Auburn Journal. It gives horrible coverage of national and international news, and really doesn't do very well at covering California. But hey, it does a good job of telling the stories of the people in my area, and there are people I know in the pages of every issue. I moved to the Sacramento area in 1980, and I'm still only fifty miles away. The McClatchy family established the Sacramento Bee in 1857. It's a good newspaper with balanced coverage, and I've subscribed since I arrived in the area. I certainly wouldn't be able to feed my need for news only on the Auburn newspaper, but the Bee and the Auburn Journal together make a pretty good diet. Heck, they're even delivered by the same person. Even out here in the sticks, I could get daily delivery of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. I really enjoy those two publications, but I don't have time to read the two newspapers I get already. -Joe- |
