BEST PUNCH: In one episode an army of Homer clones wreaks havoc on Springfield. The dumbest clone is Peter Griffin, Homer's counterpart from Family Guy--a not-so-subtle jab at the fellow Fox show...
Mexico rekindled a cross-border controversy last week with a new series of postage stamps of Memín Pinguín, a 1940s cartoon boy that resembles the Jim Crow-era caricatures of African Americans. The White House objected to the philatelic stereotyping, which follows President Vicente Fox's gaffe in May that Mexicans do jobs in the U.S. that "not even blacks want." The Rev.

I'll grant that al-Jazeera has crossed the boundaries of ethical journalism by showing some of the most gruesome acts of terrorism. Unlike cnn or Fox News, however, al-Jazeera attempts to report both sides of any story on world affairs. The analysis presented by cnn and Fox News is shallow and biased. For example, these networks tell more about how Hamas' terror attacks affect Israelis and less about how Palestinians are affected by the incursions...
