4/5/10: The front page of the New York Times had a large and well written/covered topic involving the Pope and sex scandals. Are Catholics the only ones with this issue and is because their priests must remain celibate? Also, changing articles, I wonder how many drone strikes have killed innocent people by accident?
4/6/10: NYT covers Catholicism and its issues again. Ancient settlement in Syria was found that looked interesting. China is blamed for computer spies. I wonder how much spying the US does with computers?
4/7/10: “Deaths at Mines Raising Issues About Safety.” How did we say that in class? Right, no shit. Airstrike video sounds disturbing, remind me to bookmark wikileaks.
4/8/10: Guess I can’t google carrots in China, what a pity. I wonder what is worse? Government censorship or self censorship? Can’t find that much more interesting without going off topic.
4/9/10:Economy is “rising,” China is still spying and the mine tragedy is still, well, a tragedy. I got the feeling NYT simply covers the same headline stories for three days in a row each day with a different angle. Makes money right? People who read part I are bound to read part II and it’ll probably be the same people who your sponsors want to read your paper.
4/12/10: House shows off his british accent. Would that make it “Hoos?” So Hough Laurie gets to a direct an episode of House, remind me to check that out on Hulutv, or is that Hoolootv? Oh and Mickelson won! (Golf clap!)
4/13/10: There’s a full page ad on A5 showing Mickelson with his wive talking about determination. It’s a bank investment ad. I guess NYT’s sponsors really want people who play golf (probably cause they can afford it).
4/14/10: Maternal Deaths are in a supposed decline. It’s true for the industrial countries of the world, but only briefly and vaguely mentions any part of Africa. Poor reporting indeed.
4/16/10: So under weekend Arts, an Al-Qeada themed documentary is a center piece, praised without an explanation of what it is. I wonder if it is because it’d give a face to an enemy we’re told to hate? After all, it summarizes a lot of other movies it never once mentions in the article, what about the one with the picture? Self-censorship at its best.
4/19/10: Swami Ramdev is India leading guru on yoga. He is also attempting to tackle Indian politics. NYT vaguely says it’s a strange beast basically and mentions how Ramdev wants Indians to go back to doing purely Indian things. No wonder they didn’t go into his policies, they’d probably be to un-American for them. Bad reporting strikes again.
4/20/10: Read the obituaries. Talked of a man famous for his cigars around the world who died today called Robainas. Castro had wanted him to combine his family farm with another’s, but he didn’t and Castro allowed it. Showed a softer side to Cuba, It was interesting. Then read a short piece about the volcano and traveling places on the ground to enjoy the view. I agree with that, unless you’re in Maine. Funny story about that…no way else to travel…
And from now on there going to be daily individual posts.
