> the Christian Science Monitor would try to do the right thing
As a non-American, I was a bit taken aback to see the Christian Science Monitor mentioned. Are they a news source? Do they have a history of "trying to do the right thing", as you put it?
- dagw 14y agoThe Christian Science Monitor is a pretty high quality and reasonably unbiased newspaper greatly held back by a rather unfortunate name and association. Certainly on topics of US Politics they are the among most most unbiased, and have a stated policy of never endorsing any candidate or party. While being owned by the Christian Science church they do a good job of being independent and avoiding any mention of doctrine. I truly believe that if the same newspaper was published without any connections to any church it would rank much higher in world opinion, but most people tend to dismiss it due to the name. (full disclosure: Grew up christian scientist, long since lapsed, but still have friends who believe, and I hold no animosity towards the church).
