I've read several variations of this story. While this one isn't perfect, it at least presents the information clearly, without asserting too much on the side of 'panic now!!' or 'no problem'.

This is one of those situations where the raw data presented trumps the fact that the story is mostly a badly written op-ed.

This is one of those cases where the images speak much louder than the words. Nowhere in the news did I see any coverage of what was going on outside the convention, which is absurd.

Pure liberal rant. I loved it - your mileage may vary.

Article does a nice job of presenting the political calculus of -not- talking about the elephant in the room, except in the most careful of generalities. It shows where they have commented, and draws attention to what they haven't said.

Politician misspeaks, media pounces. It's interesting, if in fact the misstatement was due to lack of knowledge, but honestly, this would be a good story if it indicated a clear, ongoing lack of understanding of how the economy works.

Basically a list of newly released tech, and what it does. Some analysis of issues surrounding the products.

This is a quick read, short and to the point. While it does make opponents of the device sound like nutters, it covers all the basics very well.

This story is primarily repeated hearsay, but given the importance of the topic, it is hearsay worth presenting to a wider audience.

This story talks about how John Kerry's fierce speech at the Democratic convention in Denver contrasted with his plodding 2004 campaign.

In addition to offering the facts (Russia failed to secure strong backing for its actions in Georgia from its regional partners), good points are made concerning why e.g. China would be concerned not to support breakaway republics.

Taken together with the comments, this is a huge amount of information on the Georgian conflict. I am hesitant whenever one side is painted unequivocally good or bad, but the amount of ancillary information makes this a very interesting read.

Primarily a story about partisans being angry about verbal gaffes. Plays up the Clinton/Obama split. Not really interesting.

This book review could never be 'balanced', but it raises interesting points.

Another 'artist insults the prophet Muhammad' story. This time, the publisher bailed before publication. The book sounds puerile, but the question of censorship is still there.
