She has quite a lot of 'guest' editorials, all written by liberals and/or
left-leaning independent sources. Right up Ward (King of Fidonet)
Dossche's alley,

Haven't seen that one in quite a while. It is a rare thing to see in the
USA since 9/11...

Better go read their website...it's not as neutral as you might think.

Right up Ward (King of Fidonet) Dossche's alley.

Different in what way? CNN-USA is a very liberal news source with a slant
toward communist thinking. I can't imagine CNN=EU as being any less
liberal than this.

Many Arabs live in the states who do understand it and they don't agree
with much that is said by those reporters. On the way to my shop every
morning, we'd stop at a liquor store for morning coffee and a daily dose
of cola for Nancy. The owner was Iraqi and many discussions between us
were about the middle-east, before 9/11 and after...
