This particular piece really angered me. The scorn these swine show for the men and women who choose to serve the country they want to call their own, even when they could easily get around the Immigration system, is more than a little galling. grr! Green Card Cannon Fodder, hrmp.

Funny - last time I checked, Washington Post was one of the most patriotic newspapers, at least in the sense of questioning everything and trying to get to the truth of matters, instead of simply repeating government press releases.
Indymedia, on the other hand, is a bunch of wankers.
You know, I do feel a weird bit of sympathy for Al-Jazeera. Sure, they're a mouthpiece in a lot of ways - but they're also trying to work in a region of the world with no tradition of freedom of press. Maybe they'll improve - who knows.
