Dr. Cynthia Boaz, Truthout: "It is ironic that in the era of 24-hour cable news networks and 'reality' programming, the fluff-to-news ratio and overall veracity of information has declined precipitously.

The Super Rich Sabotage the Arab Revolutions
Shamus Cooke, Truthout: "With revolutions sweeping the Arab world and bubbling up across Europe, aging tyrants or discredited governments are doing their best to cling to power.

No End in Sight as Minnesotans Grapple With State Shutdown
Monica Davey, The New York Times News Service: "Heading into a holiday weekend in a state that savors its summers outdoors, licenses for fishing, hunting, trapping, boats and ATVs were unavailable for purchase.

Number of Mexico's Missing Swells, Families Call for Help
Tim Johnson, McClatchy Newspapers: "As the numbers of missing and dead mount in Mexico, thousands of families suffer the same uncertainty.

From the Reservation to the Airwaves: Navajo Band Battles Injustice
Martha Sorren, Truthout: "In 1979, Arizona Snowbowl proposed the addition of artificial snow created from reclaimed refuse water. The plan created an uproar among Native American communities, as well as with many other local citizens.
