Barak: Olmert can't stay in office.

Oh my fuck, not again.

I was so hoping these guys would last four years. It's easier calculating when the last Mondeal (sorry, World Cup) took place than when the last elections did; I keep having to count the years on my fingers. Rabin was assassinated in '95, then there was Peres for a few months, Bibi for 3

when they happened over ten years ago but people wait until the guy is friggin' Prime Minister before bringing it up

AARRGHHH.

This was my incoherent way of saying why can't politics be fucking serious. PROBLEMS TO FIX, PEOPLE!

Y'know, I do not think a creature such as an unbiased news source exists. If it does, let me know, so I can have my faith in humanity back.

For a naive idealist, I'm not a lot of comfort, am I.

ARGHing with me is much better than comfort. Sigh, the world.

I really should find a reliable, unbiased news source, if such a creature exists.

Oh please yes! and then share it with me because I'm going nuts over here trying to keep up.

I hate it when people say they only get their news from sources like The Daily Show, but honestly, sometimes they have a point.

Well, no, there's no such thing as an unbiased news source since people who write them are usually biased, and the more they know about a certain subject - the more biased they are. Try to find a bunch of journalists whom you can believe (I suggest Raviv Druker, both on TV and in his blog).

Also, have sent you an invite to roga@livejournal for a new service which can be helpful in finding credible news :)

Raviv Druker; check, thanks. It frustrates me (and this is a bit of a tangent) that newspapers - even Haaretz, sometimes - don't even try to pretend to be objective any more. They expect you to get the real news online and through TV, and then read their commentary about it the next morning in the paper. And I do not give half a rat's ass about what Mr. Junior Reporter thinks about Assad's last move, thanks, I just want to know what Assad did. Anyway.

I have no idea where the @livejournal address even goes to! Can you send me a private message instead, or email the email on my profile page?

Those are two different things you are talking about: Newspapers are still about news reporting (Not only, but that's another issue), even though we have internet, and them not reporting news is bad work. But they shouldn't pretend to be objective, because that always came off as fake, and it still does when someone tries. They should try to be fair, which isn't to say they need to give equal time to nutjobs, but that they shouldn't try to mask their ideas and ideals as objectiveness.

Sent another invite to the yahoo addy.

Good luck with that one. I read Ha'aretz, Yney (sometimes NRG and J-MPost) BBC, The Independent and Al Jazeera. But I'm a News junkie.

It really doesn't matter what agreement Olmert attians with whoever seeing as the majority of the Knesset don't see eye to eye with him, I mean, even his coalition is telling him to quit!

Gaidamak, or should I say LEX LUTHOR.
Hahahahaha.
LOL.
You appealed to comic geek in me.
Am still giggling :D

[roga]

Wow, that is too many sources for me :-) Even though it's probably the smart thing to do, if you actually want to know what's going on...

I subscribed to Haaretz for the first cheap student deal month, but canceled later, because I simply didn't have time to read anything but the front page (and don't get me started on the way Haaretz articles are spread - I want to kill their designer), and I'd just end up recycling a foot-tall pile of unread newspapers every week.

Just subscribe to the online websites, what they have in paper will appear first online.

[roga]

That's an idea. I might do it.
