Then she provides ample evidences that e...

Between the Lines and Realities. Those who control the media, control the mind. Friday, 6 April 2007. Concentration of Media Ownership and the "Public Sphere".

http://liberallatte.blogspot.com/2007/03/commercialism-ignores-importance-of.html

Between the Lines and Realities. Those who control the media, control the mind. Sunday, 4 March 2007. Commercialism ignores the importance of journalism. According to the NZ Herald report. TVNZ is going to target the investigative journalists in their plan to cut spending. What's the raison d'etre of the media? To critique and restrain power. It is absolutely shocking that NZ doesnt have a public broadcast, is it not one of our legal entitlements as a nation? 4 March 2007 at 11:14:00 PM NZDT. I've never ...

Between the Lines and Realities: Is she scientifically beautiful?

http://liberallatte.blogspot.com/2007/03/is-she-scientifically-beautiful.html

Between the Lines and Realities. Those who control the media, control the mind. Tuesday, 13 March 2007. Is she scientifically beautiful? There are some researchers who claim that Naomi Campbell is the world's most beautiful woman scientifically. And there is a respected, liberal newspaper that reports the research. I am sure that the Independent has better stories to tell, considering it is owned neither by Rupert Murdoch nor by Larry Flynt. Today retains some of that sex appeal. (It likened the blon...

Between the Lines and Realities. Those who control the media, control the mind. Wednesday, 11 April 2007. When Patriarchy marries to Reality TV in Italy. Italian public broadcaster has purchased and aired the obnoxious Turkish reality TV programme. For details of the programme read the Independent article above; basically the show asserts that the extreme form of partiarchy that dictate women are birth-giving machines.

http://liberallatte.blogspot.com/2007/04/conception-day.html

Between the Lines and Realities. Those who control the media, control the mind. Sunday, 1 April 2007. The anti-birthday movement has also been spread to conservatives in other countries.

No Do you fear going to prison every time you over-speed? Some opponents of the bill argue for 'parent's rights', as if children were properties of their parents. This nonsense 'parent's r...
