Well said. I'm one of those people who scouts the internet for foreign papers to get not only world news but also a different slant on U.S. news. That slant is not always unbiased, of course, but it does add a dimension we're missing here and gives a clearer picture of attitudes toward us that our politicians and media would prefer we didn't see. I also live near the Canadian border and sometimes catch news on Canadian tv. A nice balance to some of our more hysterical and overblown U.S. reportage. IslandMolly

Why can't a woman write more like a man? When I was a young journalism student, before the days when every story had a byline, journalism was about good research and good writing. With the advent of ubiquitous bylines (and how did that happen anyway?), journalism became personality-based with predictable results. May the ghost of Ida Tarbell rest in peace.
