[Newspoetry] G8 coverage on news websites.

[gillespie william k]

The screaming trotskyites at the World Socialist Web Site (wsws.org)
lead with a story about the G8 summit 5 of the past 7 days. And that's
just their English language news.

But they're not a credible news source, they're too articulate and
passionate and unafraid not to cloak their biases in the clipped syntax
of feigned objectivity.

Thanks for the analysis Joe. Was this all on a single day?
