An article related to FEMINISM and VOTING BLANK in Lebanon..

Posted on Twitter too - A nice infographic about the social factor in election ad wars.

Posted it on twitter earlier today - an interesting read more focused on Marketing though.

This article is full of "must-have" info for Arab World Revolutions documentation

I suggested this article to someone in class last Friday (not sure who), glad it ended up here!

Click here to see photos of the evolution of the LRA. Thanks to an incredibly effective social media effort, #StopKony is trending on Twitter today. The campaign coincides with a new awareness-raising documentary by the group Invisible Children.

"Coming back to the "Kony 2012" video and its celebrity endorsements, what are the consequences of unleashing so many exuberant activists armed with so few facts? Defining Uganda in the international conversation by issues that are either geographical misfires (Save northern Uganda!) or an intentional attempt to distract the international community (Death to the gays!), do a disservice to the many critical problems Uganda has."

The article discusses polling and how accurately it reflects public opinion, the case being Netanyahu's stance on attacking Iran.

Since this presidency came a bit early (3 years too early), here's a brief summary to Wulff's resignation back in February, which also comes as a disadvatage to Merkel. I'm trying to find videos since they're always more entertaining, but here's what I got so far. P.S: Sorry for bombarding you with so many pages on a Sunday!

By Gareth Jones and Alice Baghdjian BERLIN (Reuters) - Germans resoundingly elected Joachim Gauck, a former Lutheran pastor and human rights activist from communist East Germany, as president of the European Union's largest country on Sunday, posing a potential political headache for Chancellor Angela Merkel.

According to an opinion poll, 80% trust Gauck, yet two thirds think he'd be an "uncomfortable" president for the country's political parties.

I had no idea Germany was even electing a new president, so I was totally surprised when I read news headlines today morning.

Speaker of Bundestag lower house of parliament says 72-year-old won 991 votes in federal assembly German MPs have elected Joachim Gauck, a former Lutheran pastor and human rights activist from east Germany, as the president of the EU's largest country by a large majority in a first round of voting.

Interesting questions

This can't be good.

why? (again, not that I disagree but I'm interested to find out why you think so)

Fox News viewers are less informed than people who don't watch any news, according to a new poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University. The poll surveyed New Jersey residents about the uprisings in Egypt and the Middle East, and where they get their news sources.

Not surprising, but still funny to see presented with statistical evidence.

Jon Stewart discusses the U.S. mainstream media and describes it as sensationalist and lazy (mainstream meaning New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, etc.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM1YaAwOPuQ&feature=related
