Guerilla News Network is a pretty stylish location. I am sure our members in thrall with the current administration would find it untasty, but the opposition can find a number of items to their liking. My favorite feature is that you can watch alternative news videos set to modern music and they don't fear taking on unpopular subjects.

Here is a the current lead off of a long interview in print with Noam Chomsky
from: http://www.guerrillanews.com/war_on_terror...sm/doc3633.html
QUOTE In the lead-up to Operation Iraqi Occupation, the American news networks rolled out a small army of ex-generals, pro-Israel "Middle East experts," ex-CIA directors, and powerful right-wing politicians to back the President's case for war. On the other side, you had such eminent American intellectuals as former Saturday Night Live writer Al Franken, XXL satirist Michael Moore and slacker comedienne Janeane Garofalo, arguing the anti-invasion line. The voice of the American Left was reduced to a handful of jokers, literally.

Despite the lack of media exposure, Chomsky is at the top of his game. His slim book entitled "9/11" has sold more than half a million copies. He blew away a 15,000 person stadium full of cheering anti-corporate globalization activists at last year's World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Millions of college students still revere him as their hero. Bono calls him the "Elvis of Academia." His new book, "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Domination" has just been released, and the response has been heady. A Business Week reviewer wrote, "With relentless logic he bids us to listen closely to what our leaders tell us - and to discern what they are leaving out...Agree with him or not, we lose out by not listening." He must be doing something right. END QUOTE

What I don't like about GNN is the black page background with white letters. Call me old fashioned, but it is a little harder to read that way...
