It is a thoughtful op-ed. born out of experienced with a failed health care system. Worth reading.

Disgusting and dismaying as it is, it's something Americans need to know.

Adoption is a social phenomema that does not get critical media attention and it should since it is a largely unregulated industry whose commodity is human children.

It highlights the consequences of over zealous government officials and also the difficulties posed to adopted Americans because of adoption secrecy. NOrth Carolina is a sealed records state.

This article explains a fundamental fact of how adoption functions as a vast, lucrative and largely unregulated industry. And this fact is generally overlooked when the media "covers" adoption.

It's an issue we need to follow.

It shows that despite the ubiquitous nature of mainstream media it fails to command the kind of respect journalists might hope. Obama's citizenship has been covered again and again and yet not every American believes it. Oh, Uncle Walter, we miss you!

Counters the fear-mongering of politicians regarding Social Security.

It is good journalism because it teaches an important lesson about history: those who don't learn history's lessons are condemned to repeat them. Today's news is tomorrow's history but if the unpalatable truths are not reported, we will never learn from our mistakes. This reminds us WHY it is so important for the media to cover ALL the news, even some we might rather not read about.

If only for Hersh's quote about how major newspapes pulled their punches during the Bush-Cheney years the article is well worth your time to read.

It's an important topic that is too often subject to less than balanced reporting, partly due to the hyperbole of proponents of abstinence only sex education and partly due to our pop celebrity culture.

Good, on-the-ground reportig and sound conclusions based on what the reporter saw.

The writer speaks truth to power. He puts the actions of the Bush administration into historica context that makes clear how truly awful their policies have been.

Well-supported opinion about the Bush legacy with regard to the protection of our environment.

It provides a different perspective on the past eight years from our nearest neighbors.

I'm not sure it is quality journalism. It's a mediocre story, that is little more thn a string of numbers -- potentially interesting numbers but still. The author is apparently a numbers cruncher but, numbers alone lack depth.

It serves as a warning against dynastic politics.

It brings to to the reader's attention mch about the history ofthe Christian faith that we might not have known. I think it reminds the Pharisees among us that they go stray from the message of their own prophet.

Breaking news that names names.

It's an interesting story that provides useful information and insight. I wish I could say that it imparted surprising insight into Republican-think, some suggestion that they grasp why they lost the election. Maybe if the writer had cast his net farther? Maybe not.

One of the shortcomings of MSM is that it lacks the interpretive dimension made possible by incorporating the viewpoints of the residents of countries at the recieiving end of U.S. foreign policy. And this does, in spades!
