Some enterprising Angelinos have developed a valuable new website called Watching America which is the first of its kind. They present links to news about the U.S. written outside the U.S. Much of it is written originally in other languages. They provide translations, which can be accessed at a single click. You can therefore read what the Iraqis, French, Israelis, Saudis, Poles etc. are saying to each other about the U.S. . Some the material is not available in English anywhere else in the world. It is updated continually and they have foreign multimedia content to add extra dimensions to the stories.
Tey've already done several radio interviews in Los Angeles and the print media is also beginning to notice them. They've been picked up by some major media sites, such as USA Today, TruthOut.org and even the US State Department.
Here's a sample:
Pak Tribune, Apr. 12, Pakistan:
'The United Vegetative States of America'
'The United Vegetative States of America'
“While the carnival of mayhem is progressing ahead in full tide in Iraq, the American's love and sympathy for the plight of Terri Schiavo is the very embodiment of duplicity.”
Holy Shit...He's Loose Again!!!
More fun from the recently shamed Hindrocket:
Some politicians will take advantage of tragedy to seek political advantage. Then there's Senator Mark Dayton of Minnesota, who may have set a new low when he used the death of a Minnesota soldier to launch a cheap shot against the Bush administration.
Mr. Rocket-man is referring to a Strib article earlier this week that had this to say:
Nearly three weeks ago, Cpl. Travis Bruce of Rochester was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade while standing watch on the roof of a Baghdad police station.On Tuesday, Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., sent a letter to President Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld questioning the circumstances that led to Bruce's death.'The United Vegetative States of America'
“While the carnival of mayhem is progressing ahead in full tide in Iraq, the American's love and sympathy for the plight of Terri Schiavo is the very embodiment of duplicity.”
