  • Iceland: Pirate Party Victory?

    Fontaine said today: “This time around, we have a party dominating the polls that is touting itself as a genuine alternative to the old order, and the international press has been quick to run with this narrative.

  • AT&T&Time&Warner vs Democracy

    It could also spur a new wave of mergers between other content and distribution companies, encouraging an already highly concentrated media system to become more consolidated.

  • Gorbachev’s Warning about U.S.-Russia Relations

    “It is not pro-Putin or pro-Trump but rather sober realism to argue that the U.S. needs to partner with Russia to resolve the Syrian crisis, combat terrorism, tackle nuclear proliferation and global warming.
