US State Department News Feed
Demonstrating a new public relations (or propaganda) tool:
The U.S. State Department offers more than a dozen RSS
Feeds
with titles like "Democracy Top Stories," "Human Rights Top Stories"
and "Western Hemisphere Top Stories." The "Washington File Top
Stories" column, presumably "top of the top," comes complete with a Javascript
that will put a box of official government headlines on your page, like
this: | | Those
headlines will change whenever some public information person in
Washington adds a story to the collection, so this page can't provide
"fair and balanced" fact-checking or ironic commentary in a parallel
column (on the left or right). However, for some other views
of the current state of U.S. foreign relations, see the links in this
Christopher Lydon column, The Issue
is Empire. |
