 Feminazi Reporters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I have to say her ("MICHELE LANDSBERG") deluded mind is gone way over the edge as she has gone insane, while this is just eating at her, that she foams out nothing, but this hate she has for anyone wanting fairness and common sense in the courts or even with their children.
Landsberg has deliberately neglected to reveal that feminists are a huge well-funded lobby group in Ottawa, whereas the so-called "fathers rights groups" are all volunteer effort by people who care about their families and about Justice.
Landsberg is seeking to maintain an unjust and cruel status quo that benefits lawyers and feminists at the expense of children and families.

 Michele Landsberg's Guide to Children's Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Michele Landsberg's Guide to Children's Books will be of greater interest and usefulness to adults relatively unfamiliar with children's literature, such as most parents and classroom teachers, than to children's librarians.
Landsberg is critical of those lightweight, popular materials much in demand in junior libraries.
Her own choices tend to fall into the category of tried and true golden oldies, although some recent titles are included, and there is a healthy representation of the Canadian presence in the children's book world.

Landsberg wrote about Canadian journalist Barrie Zwicker, who has produced a video entitled The Great Deception, which, according to Landsberg, "challenges the U.S. government’s account of what really happened on 9/11".
Michele Landsberg concluded her column by saying, " And if you call him (Zwicker) a conspiracy theorist, call me one too, because I agree with Zwicker when he says, ‘I don’t know exactly what happened, but something smells very fishy.
It is doubtful that Landsberg puts herself in the same category as those who advance other conspiracies.

Because of this human propensity to eat and to care about what we eat, a funny thing happened this year to Monsanto, which Landsberg calls one of the world's most overweeningly arrogant transnational corporations, as it rushed to the bank.
Landsberg goes on to say that now, several powerful American law firms have joined in a class action suit against Monsanto and other bio-tech companies, accusing them of trying to establish a global cartel in genetically modified (GM) seeds.

She says there are plenty of historical precedents for the Americans using lies to intervene in foreign conflicts, and some of the incidents she mentions (Chile, Gulf of Tonkin) are, shamefully true.
She brings up the "incubator babies" incident from 1990, which was cooked up by a public-relations firm to convince Congress to authorize war with Iraq after it invaded Kuwait.
