 It seems as though just as soon as John McCain announced his choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential nominee, stories started flying about her, her family, and in particular, her daughter, Bristol Palin, who is seventeen years old and five months pregnant. Many of the major media networks have devoured this story, highlighting the hypocrisy between “Republican values” and the situation at hand. There have also been comments about the elder Palin’s views on sex education. However, the media’s focus on the situation has been unfortunately skewed. There has been entirely too much gossip about Bristol in the news, rather than actual news about the election itself. In fact, a Google search of Bristol Palin brings up numerous self-proclaimed “gossip sites” discussing her pregnancy. There are also news sites which discuss the pregnancy, and the possible ramifications on the election.

 When I met him there wasn't much to contradict his nice guy persona. He had that unassuming, cute boyishness that bubblegum pop band managers wish came in a bottle, the kind where his laugh inked itself into my memory so I could think about it long after we had said goodnight. He worked as a teacher at a local community college for a living, he had the edge and tattoos that boasted it.

| Just in Spain and the US there are reports that say that from 20 to 25% of the girls and 10 to 15% of the boys suffer for any type of sexual abuse before they reach 17. In Latin America more than 20 000 kids in the poorest countries are sold to pedophiles from the US, Canada and Europe and more than 10 000 minors between 9 and 16 years old and sent to brothels for a price lower than a video equipment. Sexual abuse may sound like something like that just happens to some people, or people with low economical resources but, in reality it may be happening in the house down your street.

It’s been just over a month since the immigrant raids took place in the Fair Haven section of New Haven, CT. There has been a great deal of media attention focused on the city during that time. At first, interest was mainly paid to the timing of the raids in relation to the city’s vote on a municipal ID, then to the legality of the situation. In the weeks that followed, national media coverage shifted to the municipal ID itself and whether or not its enactment would create a “safe haven” for illegal immigrants and what that meant on a larger scale The debate has been forced down a narrow path of legalities and talking points by the corporate media. This has kept the voices of the people actually affected by the process of the ICE raids rather low or unheard on the broad spectrum of the argument. Not often mentioned in the discussion are the NAFTA treaty, the internationalization of jobs once deemed reliable to most Americans; or the ever increasing distance between the upper class’ wealth in comparison to those in the poor and lower classes. Yet, one of the main arguments against immigrants residing in communities illegally is that they will have a negative effect on the employment of that community.
