This week the paper bombed us with striking news about the visit of Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to USA. I got really bad impression about the way the US media refered about him and the case. I had never seem a paper call a president of any nation "an idiot" or "wily" as I've seen this week.

That's right, front page of the paper calling the president of a foreign nation "an idiot". This is completely irresponsible and imprudent, and I am quite sad about it. This can bring very uneasy situations for people which there's nothing to do with it, this can bring instability, this can bring retaliation, in short terms, this is the kind of media that is grounding arguments for justify a military intervention. The power of this kind of media can be nasty. The brasilian media, which has nothing to do with the case was much more professional in the same coverage without leaving its critics behind.
