NY Times 9/28


Tuesday, September 27, 2011
Wow, what a sharp difference from Monday’s paper! Yesterday I was so intrigued by all of the stories but today I found the Times dry and not that interesting.
The picture of the girl with the headband that read “we will win for the blood of our martyrs” was powerful; mostly I think because of the expression on the girl’s face and because she appears to be only five or six years old, but I could not find the story anywhere that explained the picture! It was probably a follow up on the story about the revolts in Yemen last week, but I wanted to read more about it and that was sort of a disappointment.
The stories about the Pakistanis attack on the Americans in Afghanistan, the “deep recession”, and wasting of natural gas in North Dakota I felt simply spit out facts and barely got deep into the issue. The article about the Pakistani attacks on American state that the investigations of the ambush were kept “under wraps”.  Well, if the government has refused to talk about it for four years, why not switch the focus and talk about the families dealing with the pain of losing loved ones? Hopefully Wednesday’s Times will be better to read.
