It should also be noticed that the editorial page of the Washington post is mostly unfit even for liner duty.  Then you'd just be piling crap on top of crap and make yourself worse off.

This is different than just not reading something. This is a) not reading it, b) influencing others to read it, and c) discrediting anything that could possibly have been in that paper. This here is called "being a snob". Please don't do that, no one benefits from it.

I'm telling her not to read it because it's a bad source of information and potentially misleading.  If that makes me a snob then you have twisted the word snob to lose it's original meaning and turned it into a compliment.

I don't know about you mainiac, but sometimes I google things like "North Korea" or "Syria" or something topical and look at the news articles that pop up. Sometimes that takes me into websites belonging to newspapers that I don't normally read, like tabloids for instance. Perhaps Skyrunner may have done the same thing? I've occasionally found myself reading Moroccan, French, Canadian, German, Australian or American newspaper articles, tabloid or broadsheet or even just blogs. 

In any case, I think this is an enormous overreaction when North Korea is currently analysing the American/South Korean plans for retaliation to any potential "Yeongpyong" redux. I don't really like making comments like this, but I think that's much more important than if we think X newspaper is shite and Y newspaper isn't.

Re-railing is possible with will power.

Yes, very interesting article here about North Korea's foreign-born "Special Delegate" of the DPRK's "Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries".

Aqizzar's was the Hound from The Fox and the Hound. I presume you may have been referring to this, from my ill-fated politics thread:

I happened across it on my google travels.

The guy's real enough, he's been interviewed a few times. I suspect he freaks out the North-Koreans themselves.

Have to agree with with your, astute assessment of the Post. All though, they do have the best headlines (Wiener's rise and Fall, for instance).

[Owlbread]

Come on guys, more about North Korea. Never mind the bloody post.

This just in!

Dear Leader Kim Jong Il....is still dead.

Christian Science Monitor is actually a decent publication that isn't related to the religion of its founders. And you know that if I'm saying this it is probably true.

I think mainiac is aware that CSM is a pretty solid publication (hence the "I jest"). At least I hope he is. CSM is very well regarded in their coverage of foreign affairs.
