Saturday Morning (Journalism) Quarterback
The top five stories worth reading from this past week in worth-reading stories:
In "things that worry me" news this week, The Independent reports on a secret US plan to keep Iraq under American control, and Alternet wonders why can't the anti-war movement budge the Dems?
In food and water news this week, Alternet addresses our food, water and climate challenges and wonders is your water safe to drink? The Financial Times of London asks, can we go on eating like this?, plus the hidden fight for the world's food and the real cost of cheap food. Plus, the environmentalists' dilemma: should we murder sea lions to save salmon?
Also this week, Common Dreams looks into the corporate state and the subversion of democracy, as well as corporate control of global media. The American Prospect, meanwhile, says the problem with conservatism is conservatism.
Our Future reports this week on the rising cost of college. The New York Times says student loan companies are bypassing two-year colleges, and Raw Story reports jobless rate increases to 5.5% - keep in mind that the jobless rate DOESN'T count people who's unemployment insurance has run out after 5 months. Awesome. The Nation calls out: Dilberts of the world unite!
Lastly, Salon asks, are we what we buy?
