Reflections of a Newsosaur: AFP case perils all online publishers The suit filed against Google by Agence France Presse has enormous implications for everyone from the largest online media publisher to the most insignificant cyber-scribbler. Those of us who wish AFP weren't so persnickety would like to argue that the "fair use" provision of the copyright law permits someone to publish quotes or extracts of copyrighted material for purposes of reporting or commenting on the news. If AFP and the other producers of copyrighted content push the issue, all online publishers either will be forced to pay copyright fees or run the risk of being sued into oblivion. newsosaur.blogspot.com /2005/03/afp-case-perils-all-online-publishers.html   (923 words)

AFP (Agence France Presse) Misinformation Desinformation pro-arab and anti-Israel Media Bias over Middle East Rectified AFP is the world's oldest established news agency, founded in 1835 by Charles-Louis Havas, the father of global journalism. I can understand that in return, AFP should decide to advocate the pan-Arab cause; but I cannot accept their pretending to be ``balanced'' and ``accurate'' (as they define themselves). The on-the-fly analysis of AFP articles is an attempt to demonstrate this bias. www.freewebtown.com /natan7777/ARP   (1297 words)

t r u t h o u t - Powell: "I'm Not Reading This. This is Bullshit." The White House also pressed Powell to include charges that the suspected leader of the September 11 hijackers, Mohammed Atta, had met in Prague with an Iraqi intelligence officer prior to the attacks, despite a refusal by US and European intelligence agencies to confirm the meeting, the magazine said. Cheney's aides wanted Powell to include in his presentation information that Iraq has purchased computer software that would allow it to plan an attack on the United States, an allegation that was not supported by the CIA, US News reported. The pressure forced Powell to appoint his own review team that met several times with Central Intelligence Agency Director George Tenet and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice to prepare the speech, in which the secretary of state accused Iraq of hiding tonnes of biological and chemical weapons. www.truthout.org /docs_03/060403B.shtml   (341 words)
