Remember how I said that if you want to get REAL news on what's going on in America and American policy, you should forget about the American mainstream-media dolts and instead read the foreign press?

Well, never a truer word has been spoken.

It took the Washington Post's most courageous World Affairs columnist, Jefferson Morley, to bring this to the attention of Americans.

Read "Gore-for-Smut" on that page

And if you want some direct links (NOT recommended but could be useful in educating the public about current events), the UK Guardian's blog:
