Bush Legacy in Gaza
Time Linking Bush administration policies to the current violence in Gaza makes this retrospective more timely than some. In the end, this is still one man's opinion--but a man with a lot of ... |

Cheney's Legacy of Deception
The Nation Scheer and others have been saying much the same thing for years. This is not to say he's wrong, just that he's not saying anything new--or offering any new proof. |

Californians to Bush: the feeling's mutual
San Francisco Chronicle While I generally like Marinnucci's work, I don't find this one of her better pieces. Is Whalen right about California's economy? Sure hasn't seemed so in my business, or in the economic figures ... |

Bush: Only time will tell about his legacy
San Francisco Chronicle While there's nothing surprising in this story, Lochhead has done a good job of integrating multiple viewpoints and of being even-handed. She has gone into some depth on some issues, but leaves ... |

Bush to Hamas: Stop Wasting Money on War in Middle East
Huffington Post While Kelly demonstrates Dubya's adherence to the "don't do as I do, do as I say" school of foreign policy, this is not he point he wanted to make. He meant to show how seriously out of touch ... |

How Should We Get Big-Money Influence Out of Congressional Elections?
Huffington Post I would call this more an advertorial for Lessig's new group than journalism. That said, I did learn something new about congressional moves. |

George W. Bush's legacy
Los Angeles Times, McClatchy In this case, I see no evidence of journalism of any kind. The publication has not bothered to supply any context or perspective of its own--except, perhaps, in who they invited to comment. This ... |

The Beautiful Machine
Washington Post Wow! What a fascinating story. Though he doesn't actually say so, the use of quotes seems to indicate this story comes directly from the people involved. As such, it presents a unique inside look ... |

Was the 'Credit Crunch' a Myth Used to Sell a Trillion-Dollar Scam?
AlterNet This was hard to review because it did explore some new territory and present both facts and expert opinion. But it also left some out. I have seen other reports of small businesses that could ... |

Family behavior key to health of gay youth
Associated Press, Huffington Post Since it provides little context about the way most parents do respond, or some of the most damaging ways, the context is somewhat lacking. It also doesn't say much about how most parents come by ... |

Poverty off political radar
Washington Times This piece got a lower score than it should have because of the publication it appeared in. And I refuse to raise that score because of one good piece. But the article raises a good point--even ... |

Washington News Bureaus Are Shrinking
New York Times What Pena doesn't say is the television journalists don't tend to cover the investigative stories being dropped by newspapers, because they don't fit into the 30-second soundbite format of TV ... |

Gay Marriage: Our Mutual Joy
Newsweek Miller does an excellent job of showing the various biblical references about marriage our culture and laws no longer support. She also demonstrates the paucity of textual references for the line ... |

Report Spotlights Iraq Rebuilding Blunders
New York Times This was difficult to rate because I found it interesting and it opened up some new topics. However, it did not cover some areas I've read about in other accounts. It did not cover fairly clear ... |

The Bangalore Backlash: Call Centers Return to U.S.
Washington Post While the article does include a bit on the quality of the service provided, it seems to focus mostly on the language issues. This makes it seem shallow to me, as the quality is probably a bigger ... |
