Faithful NQ reader, CG, mentioned recently that the Washington Post actually did a very nice article on Secretary Clinton’s recent trip to Africa. Well, you coulda knocked me over with a feather. This morning, in my daily “DipBlog” from the State Department, sure enough, there it was, along with a link to an [...]

I have been following the coverage of Iran this past week, listening to both sides, those who think Obama is setting the right tone by staying out of it, and those who think he is not being strong enough - basically voting present. Now, I assume that Obama is listening to many experts, people who [...]

I was reading my local paper and came across an article that disturbed me greatly, for a number of reasons, which will become clear beginning with the title of the article: “Ex-Teacher Gets 5 Years For Sex With Teen.” My first thought was, “5 years? FIVE? That’s it? For having sex [...]

You emote. You rant. You scream. You inhale. You reflect? No … you rant.
And now, CLASS: Please compare, and contrast, these two examples of television journalism:

Ricks foresees some truly dangerous times in Iraq, when our troops are declining and national elections will be held. He predicts a lot of “little Saddams” who will cause trouble and “politics waged violently” by Iraqis who we (the U.S.) trained. He lays out the limitations of what we can do in Afghanistan. Ricks also [...]

From Bloomberg News, a full article on Roubini, who Larry Doyle has told us so much about and who LD respects for his realistic views on the economy:

I wrote up the stories and set up the videos below several hours ago, but just ran across an astounding article that I must inject at the top because, I think, it will do to you what it did to me: Supply the words we’ve all been searching for to explain why the inexperienced Obama’s [...]

This is how the BBC and Reuters hear President Obama and why he needs to learn to watch what he says. Damn it all, PITO* you are the fecking President and your words are not just words anymore.

THREE REPORTS: These people are so desperate. In Iceland, there were “riots outside the Icelandic parliament building, issuing a plea for help to Barack Obama.” (Good luck with that.) Obama thinks he’s going to solve the global crisis by hosting Republicans for the Super Bowl. Which reminds me of the results when Bill [...]

Here’s part of CNN’s AC360 coverage of — and commentary on — Obama’s interview with al-Arabiya last night (we have the full two-part interview below). Huffington Post has the full text. I find the panel’s comments about the probable reaction by Al Qaeda to be interesting, if just a tad over-the-moon adulatory, heh:

US global dominance ’set to wane’
That according to my best source, the BBC. As usual I doubt we’ll see this headlined on an American site or news reading show.
