Has The Christian Science Monitor Been Infiltrated?
Take a gander at this neat bit of investigative reporting at the Viking Observer and tell me what you think. Meanwhile, the low coverage of the French riots by the MSM might be explained by the fact that they don't know where France is.

And to think we trust these people to tell us what is going on in the world.
That Christian Science story was like a plot for a bad movie or something.
I'm not sure what to make of it. Could just be a lazy young reporter who was too uncomfortable with British snobbery that he changed his name. Or, he could be an inflitrator. In either case he could have given a story to please his captors in Iraq.
Well, what you are saying, Peter, is that to be an elitist anti-western journalist it helps that you have a western name and gravitas when you spout off, blaming your countrymen for all the woes of the ME. It sounds better/fools more than the same words when it is just a "towel head" bitching. Snobbery, party line: little diff, not that I want to paint a whole nation as snobs; that would be, well, snooty on my part. :-)
Yes Peter you are right about the Pali Cohens. I just wanted to suggest that whether this chap changed his name for snob reasons or to better undermine the west, the end result is today the same, because the snobs - the elite liberals - are against the west's foundations, at least to some significant degree. Anyway, I have been to England many times, though not lately so I wonder what Blair has done to it. I even spent a couple of years in school over there in my primary years. My mother is English. I would like to think I have a good sense for your snobs, anti-snobs, and good folk who are smart enough to be neither. I love the true English too much to abide the parasitic snobs and resentful anti-snob snobs. (-:[
