World-News

Isaiah J. Poole, writing for Campaign for America's Future, says: "A rattled Wall Street. Families imperiled by record foreclosures and rising unemployment. A stymied Congress. A five-year war in Iraq that continues to take lives. The Take Back America conference launched Monday amid some of the most dismal headlines in years, and yet the movement is closer than ever to being able to dramatically change the nation's politics."

Unsung Heroes and Alternate Voices

Greg Mitchell, writing for TomDispatch.com, says: "In the five years since the tragic US intervention in Iraq began, many journalists for mainstream news outlets have certainly contributed tough and honest reporting. Too often, however, their efforts have either fallen short or been negated by a cascade of pro-war views expressed by pundits, analysts, and editorial writers at their own newspapers or broadcast/cable networks. This sorry record is detailed in my new book, 'So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, the Pundits - and the President - Failed on Iraq.'"
