2 JUSTWATCH Articles
Oct. 22nd, 2003 11:01 amThese two really caught my eye when trying to empty my Inbox of the mess it has become. Enjoy.
First up is more proof that (a)TV news is generally not my friend and (b) how glad I am that I was in London for the war. As the subject on the email said Watching FOX News makes you ignorant. The long and the short of it is (and there are more details in the article) that "researchers from the Program on International Policy at the University of Maryland found that those who relied on Fox for their news were more likely than those who relied on any other news source to have what the study called "significant misperceptions" about the war in Iraq."
Next up is an article about a UN report that confirms what I've been thinking since the start of Bush's little "war on terror"- basically that it has radicalized arabs (and I think others). I love it when reports reflect what common sense tells us. It makes me smile (even if the subject doesn't). A copy of the NYT article is here. If you want to look at the whole 217-page report, there's a link to a PDF of it at the bottom of this page.
Now off to send out resumes.
