Isn't it ironic?
Cheers to the Freethought Weekly blog, who shares my frustration with the absurdity of mainstream news reporting and what the major outlets feature most prominently on their websites. Delta, who provides some amusing screenshots of various news sites, writes:
Anyway, I just downloaded this great extension for Firefox which lets me save screenshots of the web pages I go to. I made some comments on the news websites I visited. As you'll see, the US media is utter bullshit. Al Jazeera, however, was quite impressive. You may want to click on the photo to make it larger and easier to read. Am I the only one who thinks that ongoing, escalating, and upcoming war is something that should be the focus of reporting in a civilized society?
Interestingly, I too recently discovered the usefulness of the Al Jazeera English website. They may have a bad reputation among Americans, but they are literally the only news site I read on a regular basis that consistently features the most important world news stories prominently on the front page. Ironic, huh?
