Four New York Times Journalists Missing in Libya
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK -- Four New York Times journalists covering the fighting in Libya were reported missing Wednesday, and the newspaper held out hope that they were alive and in the custody of the Libyan government. Editors last heard from the journalists on Tuesday as they were covering the retreat of rebels from the town of Ajdabiya, and Libyan officials told the newspaper they were trying to locate the four, executive editor Bill Keller said in a statement. The Times said there were unconfirmed reports that Libyan forces had detained the foursome. Jerome Delay, AP Libyan soldiers loyal ...
WikiLeaks, Whistleblowing and the Future of Journalism
By Delia Lloyd - Politics DailyLONDON -- Next Monday, Feb. 7, Julian Assange will return to court in London for his extradition hearing on sexual assault charges in Sweden. But as we await that ruling, another question hangs in the balance: Has Assange's whistleblowing organization, WikiLeaks, forever altered modern journalism? Certainly, Wednesday's news that Wikileaks has been nominated for the 2011 Nobel Prize would seem to suggest that the answer to this question is a resounding yes. So would the extent of whistleblowing activity reported in recent months by the world's media. Since last April, when WikiLeaks exploded ...
NYT Editor Unloads on 'Arrogant,' 'Manipulative' Julian Assange
By Dana Kennedy - AOL NewsThe story of how The New York Times' once-promising relationship with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange turned sour sounds like the kind of mud-slinging breakup between Hollywood celebrities you read about at TMZ.com. Times Executive Editor Bill Keller, in an excerpt from an e-book, writes about his newspaper's rocky partnership with WikiLeaks, tossing as many barbed adjectives at Assange as Camille Grammer has hurled at her soon-to-be ex-husband, Kelsey Grammer. To start with, Keller repeatedly refers to Assange as "our source," although Assange calls himself a journalist and that is key for ...
Evangelist Bill Keller: Glenn Beck and Gandhi 'Going to Hell'
By Carl Franzen - AOL NewsNEW YORK (Sept. 5) -- During the the inaugural worship service of a proposed "9/11 Christian Center at Ground Zero" on Sunday, evangelist minister Bill Keller slammed Islam and Mormonism as "lies from Satan." At the same time, Keller maintained that his project was not in opposition to the proposed construction of an Islamic community center two blocks away. "It's not an anti-mosque," Keller said of his proposed center, which would be the first physical church constructed by his online ministry, LivePrayer.com. "For lack of better terminology, it's an old-time Evangelistic center where we're ...
Mosque Debate Muddles Partisan Lines: Howard Dean Against, Ted Olson For
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(Aug. 19) -- Though New York Democratic officials, including Gov. David Paterson, are divided on whether the Park51 "ground zero mosque" project should proceed, nationally the issue has largely and predictably broken down along partisan lines. Republicans, especially religious conservatives like Sarah Palin, are against it, while Democrats, including President Barack Obama, are for it. But a couple of prominent political figures now have muddled the line. Beloved liberal politician Howard Dean, one of the few Democratic 2004 presidential candidates who opposed the Iraq war, called the Islamic ...
Sarah Palin to Muslims: Reject Ground Zero Mosque
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailySarah Palin has a new cause – the proposed mosque near Ground Zero in New York. On Sunday, via the social networking site Twitter, the former Alaska governor asked "peace-seeking" Muslims to understand that the mosque will interfere with recovery from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing" Palin tweeted from her BlackBerry. Earlier Sunday afternoon, Palin tweeted, "Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ...
Ground Zero Mosque Rebuttal: The 9/11 Christian Center
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(July 15) -- Plans to build a mosque and Muslim community center two blocks from ground zero, former site of the World Trade Center, have not been well received by many non-Muslims around the country -- to say nothing of some New Yorkers. For proof, check out the thousands of protesters who gathered to express their outrage at the project last month, or the proposed anti-mosque TV ad that was recently rejected by the major networks. Now, one man appears to be ready to fight religious fire with religious fire. Televangelist Bill Keller announced this week he will build a $1 million "9/11 ...
