POPSAfghanistan Coalition About To Burst Below, is what I actually wanted to clip, but I couldn't find an English version. This is from a leading national news source in Denmark:. "The coalition is about to burst in Afghanistan, and the mission nearing an end, assesses an Afghanistan-researcher. That is the assessment from Gen. Henry Jedig Jorgensen, Acting Head of Research Unit Danish Institute for Military Studies after the heads of military command and officers today in the Jyllands-Posten have expressed great skepticism about the Afghanistan mission. He stresses that the countries behind the Afghanistan mission are about to ."

POPSArab White House correspondent disses U.S. White House reporters Hmmm, I wonder who are considered third and fourth class citizens. And, why YouTube remove the video? I haven’t read anything from her or from the Dubai-based MBC but I’m willing to bet that they are not sucking up to Obama like the American main stream press is. You gotta play by the rules, baby.

POPSObama On Nuclear Conflict With Iran: "I'm Not Interested In Victory" (Video)
Obama At The G-20 On Iran: "I'm Not Interested In Victory" Oh yes he did say it, first of all, Obama gets hit with a very good question from CBS's Chip Reid Well done Chip Reid....You showed the President's hand... Reid: Thank you Mr. President, you just mentioned sanctions that have bite, what kinds of sanction, and I know you can't get into details but what kind of sanctions at all would have bite with Iran, do you really think that any kind of sanctions would have any effect on somebody like Ahmadinejad, secondly some of your advisers today said that this announcement was a victory, do you consider it a victory and if so why didn't you announce it earlier since you have known since you were President elect?.. Obama flustered by the question, "I'm not interested in victory, I'm interested in solving the problem" Clearly, today is a big smokescreen, he doesn't wanna come across as "America good, Iran bad," the global citizen is all talk here, we're not going to do

POPSUS Spy Flies to gain new eyes Techno geeks continue to make it easier to spy on and congratulate themselves for making spy tools smaller and more efficient. Politicians enable warrantless wiretapping to be more legally acceptable. They feign outrage but don’t punish those who authorized and instigated spying on us. The NSA spy-fest during the Bush administration was met with outrage by the press (for a very sort time) but nothing has come of it. Are they still spying on us? The police state grows because, let’s face it, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of resistance. Local police kick and beat suspects, boldly in front of cameras, and they are cleared of any wrong doing, which just emboldens them even further. Bloggers and citizen reporters are the only real sources of what is actually happening to us because the MSM is so concerned with keeping their ad income that true investigative reporting is all but dead. If somehow the internet gets shutdown, we will truly be in the dark.

POPS Mumbai: Twitter's Moment ~ Real-Time Reports that terrorists were using Twitter to track the movements of law enforcement--updating his efforts regularly. The question now is how to manage--if it is manageable at all--the information that comes to the forefront when anyone with a cellphone or a cheap laptop can blast information around the globe with a few keystrokes. There are some reports that Indian authorities asked those in Mumbai to stop Twittering about the event in order to keep the activities of police quiet. If true, that's a breakthrough. It's the sort of challenge journalists covering combat have long grappled with: What information should you share? Who decides what you can write? To what end? In other words, we're all journalists now. Let's just hope none of us wind up being combat reporters, as so many in Mumbai did this week.

POPSPolitical Worshippers Of The New Messiah You Say You Want a Revolution_ Mark Steyn A few days ago, a local news team went to shoot some film at the Houston campaign headquarters for Obama. Behind the desks were posters of Che Guevara and Cuban flags. Needless to say, the news reporters were either indifferent to this curious veneration or too sensitive to mention it, and it was left to the right-wing extremist Roy Rogers fascists of the blogosphere to point it out. Do Obama’s volunteers even know who Che is? Apart from being a really cool guy on posters and T-shirts, like James Dean or Bart Simpson, I doubt it. They’re pseudo revolutionaries. But even so, to be born a U.S. citizen is, as Cecil Rhodes once said of England, to win first prize in the lottery of life. Not even Obama supporters want real revolution: your cities get torched, the economy collapses. Ask the many peoples around the world for whom revolution means not a lame-o Sixties poster above your desk but the carnage and horror of the day before yesterday.

POPS Clinton 'No Voter Left Behind' (Las Vegas Visitor Industry) In Nevada, Obama is outspending Clinton $390,965 to $206,320 on TV ads. But Thursday was a day of free media for Clinton, who was followed by a horde of cameras and notebook-bearing reporters as she walked with Assemblyman Ruben Kihuen through a Hispanic neighborhood in his district. Clinton was making an appeal to Hispanic voters, who make up about 40 percent of Culinary membership. Obama and Clinton are fighting hard for Hispanic voters. Both have invested heavily in the effort, airing Spanish-language radio ads and hiring dozens of bilingual organizers between them. Many of the neighborhood residents either weren’t citizens or weren’t registered.

POPSWhat is journalism? I think he is dead wrong. The news industry has no right to regulate us. And how many of todays big newspapers does he thing started out with teams of lawyers, editorial review boards, and a stable of reporters? He even goes out to layout the standards of news media today such as multiple sources on controversial stories and balanced reporting that takes in both sides. What a laugh. I say that the new media IS the balance to the old media. They just had their toys in their toy box for so long that they can't stand the competition.
