Viewpoint News Roundup: Friday 16th March 2012

Fishbowl LA: Rick Santorum is planning a war on hardcore pornography, whilst his supporters in the bible belt are the most regular viewers of internet porn.

Can you say "hypocrites"???

Huffington Post: Osama Bin Laden may have been crazy and fundamentalist, but he wasn't stupid. Al Qaeda's leader disliked Fox News Channel and wasn't planning to send them any tapes either.

Interesting quotes here. "...As for Fox News let her die in her anger...", and "...Fox News Channel, which falls into the abyss as you know, and lacks objectivity, too." It's always strange how people cannot see their own lack of objectivity, but can see it easily in others.

NHK World: It seems that whilst Takeshi's Castle continues to get aired on Challenge, Takeshi Kitano's newest project will start airing on NHK World in April.

Takeshi's Art Beat seems to be a somewhat personal look at arts and artistic pursuits. Should be interesting.

EuroNews: German Chancellor Angela Merkel may be safe, but a snap election in Nordrhein-Westfalen will be a big test of her popularity, as voters seek to replace the SPD/Greens coalition that fell apart.

Interestingly, one of her own ministers is standing in that election, but says he won't leave his national role if the CDU loses. That kinda complicates matters.
