Judy Evans @JudyEv (382056) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Jan 24

What is the Gold Standard for News in the World?

celticeagle @celticeagle (189833) • Boise, Idaho 29 Jun 22

I asked myself this question after reading a certain post here. It dealt with a person in the news. Someone who is of the opinion that only his way is the best way for our country. He is wrong but many, too many, side with him and...

'All the President's Men' begins where 'The Post' ends.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 11 Jun 21

The Watergate Conspiracy was the definitive 'burglary attempt' that led to resignation of POTUS Richard Nixon, adjudged the worst president the United States had. The title, I think, had just been shared with fellow Republican...

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 7 Jun 21

After a whirlwind of activities yesterday, my elder daughter sat me to watch a West End concert and a Spielberg film 'The Post.' How pleasurable can it get? Very pleasurable. I was glued to the tube straining my auditory nerves...

The intellectual journey of an atheist convert.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 24 May 19

A fellow mylotter panned my attention to The Case for Christ, said she was watching the movie with her husband. Can't remember if I had watched it before so I googled for the film. What is sad about the film is the fact that...

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3452) • United States 24 May 19

I Think Woodward and Bernstein Inadvertently Destroyed the Press in the USA.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 16 May 19

It wasn't through amazing and heroic measures that they were able to expose the Watergate crimes and cover up. They just happened to be the ones that picked up the phone at the time. Be that as it may, they had the story of the...

Movie Review Nightcrawler

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 6 Aug 18

Spoiler alerts 2014 Nothing to do with the X-Man character of the same name, Nightcrawler is a grim socio-political movie about media exploitation, sensationalism, and consumerism. Jake Gyllenhaal gives an amazingly creepy...

redhotpogo @redhotpogo (4398) • United States 26 May 18

So everyone by now has probably heard the latest news about the 30 year old "millennial" that got kicked out of his parents house. I've heard the parents side that he was a self entitled loser, who refused to leave. And I've...

Gosh, Pulitzer for Filipino - Reuter's Manuel Mogato.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 18 Apr 18

Ecstatic, that is how I feel right now. I am so proud that a Filipino has cupped that Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. Why? Two reasons: 1. the last time a Filipino won was in 1942, and that was the great Carlos P....
