Recently they interviewed Lois concerning immigration policies. When we saw the clip on the evening news it was distorted to make it appear that Steinbach is really uneasy with the Conservative Party's policies. That is simply not true, but reflects the CBC's own deep-seated desire to see anyone but the Tories in power.<br /><br />NPR (my regular and favourite sopurce of news) uses the tag "no spin, no [word I forget) to describe themselves. Nonsense! I think NPR is the best American news source, but of course they have a bias. The problem is that no one wants to admit that they do not necessarily have the whole story, and that they may in fact be seriously wrong sometimes.<br /><br />The problem is not just the media. The problem is all of us -- left and right of the political spectrum.Climenheisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989459133238230712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-62325036633111586012012-04-29T12:21:20.570-04:002012-04-29T12:21:20.570-04:00So often the laws developed and appied at the tria...So often the laws developed and appied at the trials of the Nazi leadership have to often not been used much since. Only in resent years have we begun to see war crime trials against weaker countries. Until the powerful can submit to international justice, justice will not be fully realized. The worst war crime was an illegal and immoral war of aggression. The powerful are not held to this standard yet.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-14510186129437224272012-04-27T09:35:37.325-04:002012-04-27T09:35:37.325-04:00A most thoughtful and well written post.

I took senior high school students to Germany & Austria a few years ago. The sight of a McDonalds franchise opposite the bus parking lot at Dachau still haunts me...... And the German woman tour guide who mentioned that Hitler was Austrian and Mozart German as if that explained everything.troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-3010302606931737392012-04-23T15:36:24.433-04:002012-04-23T15:36:24.433-04:00Isn't it eerie that you and I had such similar...Isn't it eerie that you and I had such similar thoughts with our most recent blogs? <br />If it helps to open up just one or two minds I guess it was meant to be.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-83998915548414428562012-04-21T18:18:55.739-04:002012-04-21T18:18:55.739-04:00This is a topic I've been pondering since I st...This is a topic I've been pondering since I stumbled across a pictorial history of WWII at the age of thirteen (I think...too young, anyway). I became somewhat obsessed with it all in high school and sometimes find myself scanning the news for anything that smacks of exclusion and racism and ruthless authoritarianism. I'm finding far too much these days for my own comfort, 'though, as you rightly point out, nothing on the order of The Third Reich's propaganda at its peak.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-36217361102417033432012-04-19T21:09:07.299-04:002012-04-19T21:09:07.299-04:00It's very difficult to recount the horror of h...It's very difficult to recount the horror of history - will mankind have learned - seems not to be the case as one watches world events.JeanMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536421799031706759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-50905676181256806182012-04-19T16:40:22.165-04:002012-04-19T16:40:22.165-04:00I felt chills thinking of being right there where ...I felt chills thinking of being right there where the trials took place.
