http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22718-the-uncounted-costs-of-privatizing=
-government-services-the-case-of-sheppard-air-force-base

elter

girl-helped-more-than-400-children-find-safer-shelter
Crystal Shepeard, Care2: The idea of having to navigate cockroaches, mice, =
no heat and sexual predators before you even leave for school is not someth=
ing any child should go through. Yet, this is the daily life for hundreds o=
f children living in two shelters in New York City and Brooklyn. But 12-yea=

Retrieving a Moral Comportment in an Age of Violence and Bullying
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/22716-retrieving-a-moral-comportment-=
in-an-age-of-violence-and-bullying
Fred Guerin, Truthout: In a recent report on the issue, the Canadian govern=

Paul Krugman | A Panicked Press Turns Economics Into a Morality Play
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/22692-a-panicked-press-turns-economic=
s-into-a-morality-play
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: The urge to hike rates - the rationale keeps c=
hanging, but the demand stays the same - is widespread in the financial pre=
ss. Why? The ever-changing reasons for a never-changing policy suggest that=
we aren't really talking about policy analysis. Instead we're talking abou=

A Tortured Twist on Ethics
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/22764-a-tortured-twist-on-ethics
Yosef Brody, OtherWords: What will be done about doctors who helped create =

Robert Jensen, Texas Observer: The failure of Dean Starkman's The Watchdog =
That Didn't Bark: The Financial Crisis and the Disappearance of Investigati=
ve Journalism-and of mainstream journalism more generally-is hidden in plai=

John Feffer, Foreign Policy in Focus: The far right is expected to do well =
in the upcoming European Parliament elections in late May. The influence th=

worrisome. What hasn't received much attention, however, is the influence o=
f the far right in Russia itself. It makes Ukrainian fascism look like chil=
d's play.

Starkman explains why journalists often aren't alert watchdogs, but he can't see why limiting the profession to the role of a barking dog is a dead end.</p>
