Among the excellent foreign authors writing about America today I recommend
writers like India's Arundati Roy and Vandana Shiva, England's Robert Fisk,
Uruguay's Eduardo Galeano, and Chile's Ariel Dorfman. Their insights round out what I read from the mainly East Coast, compromised writers who dominate our nation's newspapers.
Such authors seldom appear in our less diverse mass media. One can find them on the internet via personal computers or at public libraries by using a search engine, such as Google, and typing in their names. One of the best daily newspapers to subscribe to, for free, is England's Independent, available at http://www.independent.co.uk
One can also read the "U.N. Observer", published in The Hague, at http://www.unobserver.com
Among the best new online publications is http://www.crisispapers.org
It was started a couple of months ago and gives access to articles from other online publications.
The corporate U.S. media's censorship obscures the truth. We can demand that our daily newspapers and alternative press publish more diverse articles by European and other foreigners. Then the public would be better informed and able to make democratic decisions that could help guide us out of the blurry darkness.
