What about Al Jazeera? What did the media say in Japan after the same event?
So much going on and so much noise...

Not with solutions, but with divisive haymakers, as though the Official Opposition’s role is no longer to challenge government policy…but to oppose reality, independent thought, and democratic accountability itself.
Previously, I addressed the dangers of what I call “teddy-bear terminology” - the practice of wrapping soft, comforting language like “harm reduction” around ...
