LeMondewatchwatch

This could almost be the title of a new blog, but I haven't thought the idea through sufficiently to consider whether it's worth pursuing... just wanted to note that while the loony right of the Anglo-Saxon world might view Le Monde as systematically biased against America, the equally crazy Reseau Voltaire accuses Le Monde of supporting Ariel Sharon's Israel, by naming Jerusalem as the capital of the country... criticism obviously cuts both ways...

Reseau Voltaire has an interesting site, and you only need to the the current front page image of Hugo Chavez embracing Fidel Castro to gain some idea of its politics... it's extensive and credulous coverage of the September 11th Pentagon attack conspiracy theory also lends one to doubt the veracity of anything else it might say. Their "Bush Regime Card Game" is also a moderately amusing summation of this website's worldview. In some ways it's refreshing to see extreme views like this presented in such an attractive and comprehensive web design, but the actual contents need to be consumed with a large pinch of salt.
