		<description><![CDATA[The other day I visited an elderly couple.
They were watching television &#8212; a tennis match between Serena Williams and Ekaterina Makarova.
They wanted me to watch with them, so I did, for about ten minutes.
A few minutes can’t do much harm, I thought.
I don’t know if you’ve watched television lately.
I was amazed.
It was nothing like I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr Rick Santorum is not favourite to win the American presidency &#8212; but it is not impossible.
Santorum hasn’t got as much money as the other candidates.
He does not have the blessing of the rich who own the media.
Western “democratic” nations are less demo-cratic than they are pluto-cratic.
The big money owns the media. The media own [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Municipal Council tips are full of discarded analog television sets whose cathode ray tubes contain toxic components and cannot be recycled or just left lying around.
It costs a council about $20 each to have them properly disposed of.
One suggested alternative is to sell such sets off cheap as spare sets to put in children’s bedrooms [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Australian media are currently over-full of tennis and cricket results.
Why?
Because that’s what attracts the most readers/viewers, who, on seeing the advertisements, will obediently buy the products advertised&#8211; thus making the owners of the media and sporting teams richer.
Sport is, of course, good in its way.
The Pope (speaking to soccer players in Spain) said as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day, Stephen Conroy, Australia’s Communications Minister, got a few headlines for using offensive language on television.
18 months ago, he was in the headlines for a different reason – being named “Internet Villain of the Year” by Britain’s internet industry, when he announced the government’s intention to force Internet Service Providers to block websites [...]]]></description>

Why?
Because the United Nations says so – in its 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
OK.

Let’s not forget that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) asserts that states which have signed (e.g. Australia) “recognize that every [...]]]></description>

Victoria’s Child Safety Commissioner, Bernie Geary, has issued a fence-sitting statement.  He concedes that these affairs are based on “a perception of competitive beauty and personal appearance” – and that the entrants were wearing “heavy make-up and dresses of adult-like [...]]]></description>

He went on to talk about Norwegian terrorist, Anders Breivik, being “a Christian who described himself as a ‘modern-day crusader’”.

One of her “crimes” was to appear on screen without traditional head-covering.
Surely 90 lashes is too many – but does that mean she should go entirely unpunished?
Marzieh was using the media to undermine an aspect [...]]]></description>

He says that opposing candidate Mitt Romney &#8212; a Mormon&#8211; is “not a Christian”.
He labels Mormonism a “cult”.
Mr Jeffress is pastor of a Baptist 10,000-member “mega church”.
Question: are Baptist mega churches Christian?
Anyway, the Democrats are enjoying watching the [...]]]></description>
