09 Oct 01 - 08:31 PM (#568601) Subject: RE: BS: The World - Another Perspective From: GUEST,A Friend I don't know how to do the link thing, but I use the Independent Media website: www.indymedia.org/ along with international English language news organizations for my news and information. American media coverage is too propagandistic and inaccurate. |

Poorly written Israeli propaganda on what looks and works much like a 12-year-old girl's crappy Justin Timberlake fanpage. And someone really should tell their "intelligence experts" that Nursultan Nazarbayev is the President of Kazakhstan, not Uzbekistan... ("The meeting was called by the Nursultan Nazerbayev of Uzbeksitan") I'd delete my cookie in shame if I read that crap, too, "GUEST." ---Lepus Rex |

I too went to the Guest's website, and found it pretty offensive. Independent News Media's website has to be read carefully, but there is often on the ground news and perspectives which never get reported in mainstream media sources, which is why I suggested it as another perspective. |
