I found this so interesting.

http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/default.asp?page=1

It's 169 front pages from 25 countries newspapers on a daily basis. I like seeing what other countries reactions are. Like today, several of them have headline stories regarding Bush's push to go to war. Pictures of families seeing their enlisted off in tears. It gives me chill bumps to realize that it is a possibility that I will see WWIII in my lifetime.

Very cool site!
Thanks for sharing.

I can't look too long at stuff like this, though, it scares and depresses me.

Sometimes (though addmittedly not that often) it'll be good news (we can only hope).

I've actually been to the Newseum in Arlington, Va. It's an incredible place and it's totally FREE! We went last summer for the War exhibit. This particular exhibit documented journalism in past times of international conflict and was incredibly moving.

It's interesting to see different papers next to each other.

There was a time when I read 3 different papers a day. (newpaper boy)

Then you can see how a paper explains things in a way they want to see them.
Before that I thought "the" paper was telling it like it was.....
