First the bogus Jessica Lynch story, now this!

What's next from Rooters?

[RightWhale]

Unbelievable. This isn't Onion, is it? Reuters has some serious problems.

Their news equates to the NYT in the bias category.

Reuters almost makes the NYT look balanced.

how do we know the current owner isn't one of jesse's kids?

Because, there are white people working there.

This must be the Boomerang of their Postmodern Liberal Theology which is self consuming. It won't be over until they accuse and otherwise condem themselves.

And gays can call each other fags and straights cannot.

[Cold Heat]

I agree.

[Paul Atreides]

It doesn't matter. Applying the liberal logic, even if it isn't true, the fact that certain people would lodge such complaints means that there is something wrong. Therefore, Reuters is at fault.

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Within 30 minutes of the Bush press conf, they had a list of attack articles on their wire

"Not only does Radianz continue to tolerate racial harassment in the workplace and pay its African-American employees less than similarly situated white employees, the company looks at African-American employees as troublemakers and gives white employees the benefit of the doubt."

I thought this was in England.
Shouldn't it be something like African-Anglican?

[Paul Atreides]

Maybe it is termed such because it is a US class action suit.

[SauronOfMordor]

Just for the record: The term "Public school" in Britain is what we in the US would call a PRIVATE school, particularly a snotty, elitist boarding school.

I think the origins of the British term may come from the idea that graduates of Brit "public" schools will go into "public service", ie they are being trained for govt office, as opposed to the American definition of "being open free to the general public"
