Hey, Rupert, who's minding the store?

An interesting article in the National Examiner, by Jean Williams, regarding a certain - shall we say - inconsistency between Murdoch's public statement regarding global warming and the antics of most Fox News commentators.

Rupert Murdoch has been claiming that his corporation is sensitive to climate change and that global warming will be catastrophic if allowed to continue. It sounds like he is incredibly disconnected from his own News organization. All the Fox News commentators scoff at global warming, calling it the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.

The article can be found here: let's see if I can make this work.

An interesting article in today's Guardian newspaper, which can be found on the Guardian Unlimited website:

(not sure if I got that right).

Anyway, the British Secretary of Defence at the time of the Iraq invasion, Geoff Hoon, has admitted "fatal errors in the planning for post-war Iraq", with British ministers unable to influence the White House.

There is an interesting half-hour radio program to be found on BBC's Radio 4 website. It's called "Science Blacklist", and is an account of the current culture war between the Bush regime and American scientists.

I think that DKos members might find it intriguing. Go to the BBC website, then Radio 4, then the Listen Again section (and there's lots of other goodies there for you.)

At the present casualty rates, the number of US troops killed in Iraq will reach 2000 in about 13 weeks' time.

The anti-war commentators and bloggers need to prepare their responses: it will be an uncomfortable period for the Bush administration.

It would be a worthwhile exercise for all the more prominent anti-war folk to co-ordinate their responses, for maximum effect.
