Peter Hallward, the excellent philosopher working at Middlesex University in London -- also part of the Radical Philosophy editorial collective -- has written an outstanding article
on the interests of the British press. He contrasts the blanket
coverage of a missing child to the almost total overlooking of the
death of 80 Haitians at sea, deaths for which British authorities are
responsible due to their callous disregard of the lives of those they
intercept fleeing the poverty of Haiti. Poverty for which, it should
always be recalled, American policy bears great responsibility. The
article appears on what looks to be an important resource, www.haitianalysis.com. Check it out.
