As mainstream media and unrepresentative governments narrow the scope and range of social discourse, the public network has exploded with millions of ‘voices’ that continue the public discourse in a social space conveniently created by the forces that fear free expression most. The blogosphere is without competition as the primary body of free speech in today’s digital age. It is not unexpected that the content and character of independent speech is in contrast and opposition to the mainstream discourse of minority interests. It would seem that attempts to limit and tailor the social debate have resulted in unexpected consequences. ... read full story / add a comment

This is just a brilliant analysis on how Sistani is portrayed in western media. As somebody who has been swallowing the western media propaganda on the distinction between Sistani the quietist and the Iranian revolutionary style ayatollahs, this essays blows the supposed difference out of the water. It does make you wonder is the media (outside of a few honourable exceptions) deliberately simplistic or truly ignorant ... read full story / add a comment

Veteran broadcaster Dunphy blasts misuse of Dáil privilege over Frank Connolly affair , speaks passionately in favour of the Rossport Five in this Daily Ireland interview and slams the profession that he is involved in: The Media! I know he is never consistent but some of the quotes here are classics, angry and on the money. “We live in a corrupt society, and the corrupt people are not going to go to the barricades to save Frank Connolly." “It has not changed for the better, no. Journalism now in Ireland is much weaker than it was when I began, which is now 27 years ago. It does not have the crusading zeal that it had. It’s much more interested in celebrity, style and stories about people’s personal lives." see http://dailyireland.televisual.co.uk/home.tvt?_scope=Da...opp=1 ... read full story / add a comment

This American Life is an audio chronicle of the weird, the prosaic, the extraordinary, the beautiful and the disgusting in the massively diverse country called the United States of America. It is frequently an amazing show, containing memories of disturbing childhoods, hilarious miscapades and cunning hipster pranks. But no episode has reached the level of the 10th March 2006 episode "Habeas Schmabeas". ... read full story / add a comment

The anti-immigrant Danish People’s Party, which has seen gains in popularity following the attacks of 11 September and the controversy about cartoons of Muhammad published last year, has lost 2.7% of voters' support in the course of the last month. This is one of the results from an opinion poll conducted by Catinét Research for the Danish news agency Ritzau between 13 and 17 March. The Danish People’s Party's member of parliament Louise Frevert is one of a number of Danish politicians who have played a key role in inflaming Muslim concerns with a comment on her website that “the Muslim menace ... can be compared with a tumour which we know will kill us, if we don’t find and annihilate it before it spreads.” Please read my translation from an original Danish article below. ... read full story / add a comment
