You would think George Bush’s massive failure to communicate himself out of the Iraq invasion quagmire would serve as a lesson for other major powers.
The Chinese spin on the Tibetan protests are clear and consistent: the Dalai Lama is a lying, scheming radical fomenting rebellion in an otherwise peaceful part of China.

Journalists often give their interview subjects the benefit of the doubt when they slip up.
That wasn’t the case this week when Barack Obama foreign policy advisor Samantha Power stepped down from her unpaid position after being quoted as calling Hillary Clinton “a monster” in an interview with a reporter from Scotland’s The Scotsman newspaper. She […]
Okay, so a member of the British royal family went into a battle zone and the media didn’t spill the beans.
Sherylynne Starkie of Strive Public Relations isn’t impressed: “It makes you wonder what else they’re not telling us,” she says, and quotes John Snow of the UK’s Channel 4: “One wonders whether viewers, readers and […]
