This NYT story isn't about someone someone dissing their employer or fellow employees, it's about exercising what would seem to be freedom of expression -- which doesn't trump brand protection in the U.S.

The Beeb's Stephen Sackur is leaving the world of field reporting from foreign places. Here are a few of his observations.

When interpreting the results of the CBC/Environics poll on a CBC panel last Thursday, the Toronto Star's Chantal Hebert was struck by how close the Liberals and NDP were. In this column, she examines what that could mean.

Frank Gardner, a BBC reporter who was working in Saudi Arabia last year, was shot six times at point-blank range. While now in a wheelchair, he's lucky compared to colleague Simon Cumbers, who was killed.

I found this to be a very common-sense column by the Toronto Star's Carol Goar.

I've also linked to a few other do-we-need-an-election columns from the Sunday Star.

The Toronto Star's Tim Harper looks at some of those in Dubya's orbit who are on the move up -- and who would have likely been moved out the door in the vaunted private sector for their screw-ups.

This brief memoir in the NYT is by Loung Ung, whose idyllic boyhood in Phnom Penh, Cambodia came to an abrupt end when the Khmer Rouge came to town on April 17, 1975.

Jennings was diagnosed with lung cancer about the time ABC president Dan Westin saw an opportunity to overtake the NBC Nightly News.
