• Counter Punch has been providing ongoing articles and coverage worth reading.

• Z Magazine may take a little patience—that first page takes a little while to load. The server probably gets stuck down a lot while fighting off corporate-backed-turncoat-hacker-tools, too, but the wait's worth it and their front page [lower right hand corner—hey, I warned you about how long it takes to load]—includes a Nader-LaDuke campaign section, that's priceless!

Of the biggies, only the Voice weighed in with some substance. The media is more corporatist-corrupted than the politicians, I do declare. [October 11–17, 2000]
