http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/30232-the-chevron-tapes-secret-videos-reveal-company-hid-pollution-in-ecuador
Kevin Koenig, Amazon Watch: Recently released videos are a true treasure trove of Chevron's misdeeds and corporate malfeasance.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30215-bill-o-reilly-s-latest-white-dream
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: When Bill O'Reilly says that it's "open season" on white men in this country, he's either mind-numbingly ignorant or just not taking a good hard look at our society today. White privilege and male privilege are very real.

Four Election Stories That Show the GOP Is Moving Even Further Right
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/30218-four-election-stories-that-show-the-gop-is-moving-even-further-right
Robin Marty, Care2: From primaries to party leaders, Tea Partiers are becoming the predominate face of the GOP. That could mean a party ready to crumble if it becomes too extreme or, even more frightening, if today's Congress ends up being more "moderate" than the Congress that convenes in 2017.
