Dr. Cynthia Boaz, Truthout: "It is ironic that in the era of 24-hour cable =
news networks and 'reality' programming, the fluff-to-news ratio and overal=
l veracity of information has declined precipitously. Take the fact America=
ns now spend on average about 50 hours a week using various forms of media,=
while at the same time cultural literacy levels hover just above the gutte=
r. "
The Super Rich Sabotage the Arab Revolutions
http://www.truth-out.org/super-rich-sabotage-arab-revolutions/1308678008
Shamus Cooke, Truthout: "With revolutions sweeping the Arab world and bubbl=
ing up across Europe, aging tyrants or discredited governments are doing th=
eir best to cling to power. It's hard to overexaggerate the importance of t=
hese events: the global political and economic status quo is in deep crisis=
. If pro-democracy or anti-austerity movements emerge victorious, they'll h=
ave an immediate problem to solve - how to pay for their vision of a better=
world."

Monica Davey, The New York Times News Service: "Heading into a holiday week=
end in a state that savors its summers outdoors, licenses for fishing, hunt=
ing, trapping, boats and ATVs were unavailable for purchase. And all around=
the State Capitol - the place where all the troubles began - the streets w=
ere eerily empty and official buildings locked, plastered with hand-taped s=
igns that offered a gentle explanation: 'This building is closed until furt=
her notice due to the current state government service interruption.'"
Gaza Flotilla Move Sinks
http://www.truth-out.org/gaza-flotilla-move-sinks/1309623964
Pierre Klochendler, Inter Press Service: "The besieger is besieged, such is=
the forlorn fact emanating from the order by Greece to block the ships doc=
ked at its ports from setting sail to the Palestinian strip of land, and th=
at fact seems to have sealed the Flotilla's fate."

Sarah Lazare, Truthout: "With revolutions sweeping the Arab world and bubbl=

, to target your homes, offices, families, which have become legitimate mil=
itary targets, like you have targeted our homes.'"=20

309610005
Tim Johnson, McClatchy Newspapers: "As the numbers of missing and dead moun=
t in Mexico, thousands of families suffer the same uncertainty. Mexico has =
no centralized system to track and identify those who disappear. Hundreds o=
f bodies pulled from clandestine mass graves remain unidentified for the mo=
st part, nameless victims of Mexico's ongoing carnage."
From the Reservation to the Airwaves: Navajo Band Battles Injustice
http://www.truth-out.org/reservation-airwaves-navajo-band-battles-injustice=
/1309282490
Martha Sorren, Truthout: "In 1979, Arizona Snowbowl proposed the addition o=

uproar among Native American communities, as well as with many other local =
citizens. Three decades later, the plan is being executed despite lawsuits =
filed by both the Hopi and Navajo tribes. The tribes argue that under freed=
om of religion, the mountain is a holy place and shouldn't be contaminated =
with reclaimed water."
