This is an opinion piece (or a rant rather) so it is not balanced or fair at all as it presents clearly one side's point of view on an issue laden with emotions. It is quite well written though (you can feel her hate towards McCain) and points to sources to substantiate her presentation of McCain as an evil man who will take away choice from women. As all die hard leftists she of course calls killing human beings "abortion care" or "choice" but that is to be expected. So, overall a good column presenting nicely a very radical point of view.

Well, this is an opinion piece so different criteria apply I guess. But overall this is a propaganda piece by sodomites who want their sin to be given the same level of recognition as legitimate marriages. Hence the whole piece is heavily biased and presents basically only one point of view - namely that of sodomite activists presenting their claims as "rights". Overall, a waste of time.

This is a long analysis of the current financial trouble which is worth reading many times over what is presented in mainstream media, because it provides lots of background and information, presents a logical analysis of the events with a historical prospective plus presents outlook for the future and proposes remedies. All that from a respected economical institute representing the Austrian economic school - one of the most respected streams in the modern economics.

The story overemphasizes the "abuse" - being in a cold room and getting a supper can hardly by called torture (though, the article doesn't use this word). What is important in it, however, is that US did allow Chinese intelligence access to members of a minority repressed in China and that US collaborated with Chinese intelligence and interrogators at all. It is important that this is brought to attention, even though the actual sources remain anonymous.

This is basically a propaganda piece. It makes unjustified claims, for example links poor economic condition of US middle class to military spending without proving a direct link. While military programs are expensive other massive factors (esp. bad economic policy and fiat currency's inflation + FED mismanagement) contribute to that. Eisenhower quote is used an emotional device and has little to do with the facts. No prospective is given whatsoever except for the $9.3 trillion national debt which dwarfs the $515 billion military budget.

It points out the thing that was long known to anyone seriously looking at our national and civilization's energy balance sheet - that nuclear energy is the only viable large scale alternative to fossil fuels. This is good journalism because it presents this important information in a concise, well presented manner with links to source article.

This is not exactly good and unbiased journalism because there is an underlying assumption, namely that the cause Ms. Novak and Mr. Khaiwani stand for is good and just. While this very well might be true and while her effort - and its repercussions - are certainly newsworthy I didn't learn much from this article about the background on situation in Yemen, about Mr. Khaiwani background, there is no other side - Yemeni govmnt. - at all. So this whole article boils down to "how good American housewife helps spread freedom and justice in bad Yemen".

This is just reporting on talks, not much can be learned from this re. the future of the oil market, the general situation etc. Not worth the time.

This is raising an important issue - namely corporations meddling with the human food chain by introducing GM crops and artificial hormones. The fact that Monsanto tried to deny customers information that milk is produced without their artificial hormone is newsworthy. And it is outrageous and potentially dangerous, so it is good it gets reported.

This is a column, so it has the right to present author's opinion but it in a way that distinguishes it from facts or established links between things. It should also not distort the meaning of discussed quotes. For example, what McCain said was that all should be treated equally by the govt (not bailed out), author makes that look as a condemnation of famillies who borrowed over their means "without their fault". Secondly, that the crisis is caused by under-regulation rather than by too much regulation is a matter of debate, while it is presented as an obvious fact. As usual other massive factors at play (namely inflation, taxation, social change) are ignored and author focuses on one cause - education costs - as an explanation ... More »

This is an example of analysis of last Polish elections that shows exactly how little foreigners know about underlying issues and how little they understand the contemporary Poland. There is a deep divide in the Polish society which can't be understood without taking into account some politically incorrect consequences of 50 years of Soviet rule over the country.
