.......... it gurgles its way down to the ocean floor.
What can I say about a section A that has headlines like "Man to be tried for robbery", "Gas prices to stay the same", "Woman stole credit card", "Adult spelling bee planned", (giggle, giggle), "Bus route added"....
The editorial is reasonable. The rest of opinion and comment is, at best, trivial. At worst (guess which one) it's brainless. Another (guess which) is propaganda.
In a world on the edge of nuclear war, Section B has the thrilling tale of a woman who has a pendant given by her great grandfather to her great grandmother. It also has the third or fourth story of a search for a Nazi gold train that might not exist. All the stories are the same.Then, a thrilling story from New York where a man who killed a Muslim had a gun hidden in his wall. Wow!
There's not a word about the killing in Yemen, in Syria, about U.S. nuclear weapons in Turkey, about the Ukraine/Crimea tensions. It's all just the gentle strains of Mr. Irving crooning, "Go to sleep, my baby..."

There's a story - and an important one - that even the robots at the Irving press could have run. Well, maybe not. It might have offended the boss. It's about how one of the natural wonders of the world, Austalia's Great Barrier Reef, is disappearing- and quickly.

Greece is one of the poorest nations in the developed world. It's poor, largely because international bankers made it poor - and intend to keep it poor. The U.S. is the richest country in the world - albeit with most of the wealth concentrated among a small number of people.
The U.S. has created tens of millions of refugees, mobs of shattered families, of people who flee their homes to die by starvation and hunger and drowning or, if they're lucky, to find horribly overcrowded refuge on Greek islands that can't hold them all.
Greece did not cause this crisis, But poverty-stricken Greece has to pay for it because the wealthy U.S. which did cause the crisis won't do a thing. (and it will accept very, very few of the refugees because most Americans believe they are Christians. Yep. They really are. The U.S., with its constant wars, its millions of dead, its use of starvation , its unlimited greed, its debasement of its own people must make Jesus proud of what He did. Praise the Lord.)

Poland, like many another country that helped Hitler to persecute Jews, denies it did any such thing. In fact, almost all European countries helped Hitler. And they weren't the only ones. So did Canada and the U.S., even for a time after the war. It's one of the best-kept secrets in history.
In Holland, a Dutch woman was quite indignant about Hitler. She said to me, "He had no right to kill OUR Jews." What she clearly meant was only the Dutch should have been allowed to kill Dutch Jews.
In fact, a sizable part of Hitler's army was Dutch - and French - and others.
When the war ended, Jewish survivors who returned to their homes in The Netherlands were charged taxes for the time they had been away in death camps. And Nazi soldiers did not find Anne Franck all by themselves. And the American general Patton despised the Jews he saw in the camps, but admired their German captors.

Human Rights Watch is a pretty highly respected organization. So how come the irving press never told us about this report from it?
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2016/08/01/human-rights-watch-reports-that-us-government-tortured-children-paul-craig-roberts/
But Americans still sing "Jesus loves the little children.." So there's nothing to worry about. (Can you imagine the irving faith page running this story? Or the Irving Chapel making it a subject of coffee and discussion in 'the barn'?)

And where did Trump get the crazy idea of banning immigrants on ideological grounds? Well, in fact, the law already exists, and was rigidly enforced by both Bush and Obama.

I don't always agree with the opinions in al Jazeera. But most of them are well argued. And the range of the stories beats most of the world's newspapers by far. In terms of honesty (and courage), Haaretz is the champ. But it's range is limited. So al jazeera leads the world in breadth and quality of its coverage
