This week A Suspension of Disbeliefs was picked up by We Blog The World, a blog aggregating venture out of Silicon Valley founded by Renee Blodgett. Renee's assembled a list of top worldwide bloggers to provide a media source we can believe in instead of having to suspend our disbelief by watching TV.
Last night however I did watch an excellent National Geographic feature with a group of 'embedded' reporters who traveled with an American Green Beret force in Afghanistan. Two men were lost in that series and it was truly touching and many times, too real. But if National Geographic were called International Geographic we would have gotten embedded reports from the Taliban side as well. As it stood, no mention was made that the Taliban not only frown on but prosecute the cultivation of poppies used to produce heroin - and that under American rule, poppy cultivation is at an all-time high. But I'm sure Myth Busters will tackle that one and tell us all we're full of shit once that episode is finished.
Look for alternative stories on We Blog The World. We're happy to be part of the family.
