Have you ever thought that your government might not be 100% honest?
Have you ever wondered why mainstream media only ever seems to present one side of the story?

If you answered "yes" to either of those questions, you should visit http://www.zmag.org/weluser.htm
If you answered "no" to both of those questions, you should visit http://www.zmag.org/weluser.htm and make it your homepage!!

ZNet features up-to-the-minute reporting from the world's leading independant journalists, and an extensive archive of articles on the political economy of human rights by progressive thinkers.

I see you're trying to get a rise out of me...
If you'd bothered to read any of the articles on ZNet, you would have seen that they are just as critical of corrupt left wing regimes as they are of corrupt right wing regimes.

I'm politically neutral, because I think that global harmony is more important than any political party's agenda.
I'd like to live in a world where poverty and warfare do not exist.
We, as human beings, posess the intellect and the resources to make such a world possible.
It's just unfortunate that in order to be critical of political corruption, I have to be labelled as a "commie" or a "bleeding-heart liberal".
Were Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi "left wing" by your definition?
If so, then I hope you'll forgive me if I allow myself to feel a certain amount of pride by your assocoiative label...

Every article is as interesting as the next David:

quoted the truth m8

i agree with you..

i think basically everyone wants to live in a world where everyone gets treated the same.. and no status involved such as.. poor..middle or rich...

them words conflect in the society and yea...

in most of the country. politics are ruling over that country.. thats why some countries never improve.. and the government on their side.. because they thread and get all the $$$ ... if that happens ofcouse we will see lot of poverty countries...

watch the news and notice how they can spin the topic one way or another with a few carefully placed words. watch the news on mute and watch their body language. collect information on the same story from several different sources and compare them. then think about how long you have blindly believed what you watch/heard/read. kind of scary the control they have over the information we receive.
