On a different note: check out Mosaic. This online webcast translates headline news from around the middle-east unedited into English. The webcasts include Al Jazeera, IBA (Israeli Broadcast Authority), IRIB2, Future Labanon, Al-Alam, Abu Dhabi TV, etc.. If you are familiar with these news sources then you know that they do not agree with each other.
I think that it is important to hear news from the perspective that you do not agree with…it helps to keep you honest. Hopping between CNN, Fox News, and Mosaic, will open your eyes a little more….or maybe just piss you off…lol
Mosaic requires QuickTime, but it is worth the trouble.
Very cool. This inspired me to update my Israeli news sources and add Mosaic to my bookmarks. If you don't mind me doing so, I'd like to add here the English-language Israeli news sources I browse occasionally.

I'm with you; I think that the 'International Herald Tribune' goes a little deeper that the average news outfit.
