In a word of fake desillusions where people are used to hide the truth and the facts at any price, Eminem appears to have started a real revolution. His lyrics as well as his story are based on real facts.

Eminem: mirror of the reality?
Sunday, November 30th, 2003How eminem’s “just don’t give a fuck” attitude changed my perception of life
Sunday, November 30th, 2003Most of us up grow up in a society that rarely allows us to show our true feelings. When we are angry or hurt we are supposed to hide it or to show it very little. I used to grow up in a particularly rigid parental environment and I didn’t dare expressing what I actually felt inside. This made a sick person of me.

America’s enemy within
Wednesday, November 26th, 2003Naomi Klein has quite an interesting account of protests in Miami recently. Some shocking stuff, they are embedding reporters with cops just to cover protests? What is the world coming to?
Meanwhile, independent journalists who dared to do their jobs and film the police violence up close were actively targeted. “She’s not with us,” one officer told another as they grabbed Ana Nogueira, a correspondent with Pacifica Radio’s Democracy Now! who was covering a peaceful protest outside the Miami-Dade county jail. When the police established that Nogueira was “not with us” (ie neither an embedded reporter nor undercover cop) she was hauled away and charged.

Google, Microsoft and Lies
Wednesday, November 26th, 2003Dan Gillmor, as ever, has some great stories. The first being that Bill Gates has denied that he ever entered into talks with Google –
“We’ve never been in any talks with Google about any acquisition thing in any way, shape or form”
This is after huge media coverage that said Google were going to be bought by Microsoft. Needless to say someone is trying to stir as much interest in Google as possible, I wonder who.

8 Mile helps people to understand the Detroit context better
Wednesday, November 26th, 2003The « 8 Mile » movie makes us discover and understand the racial tension and the racial split that existed in Detroit. In fact, this appartheit has historical roots in Nothern America. In the 30’s and 40’s, southern Blacks moved to Nothern cities like Detroit. Many white people left the city to build their own communities. The racial tension that existed was so strong in Detroit that you could even find racial flags with sentences like « We want white tenants in our white community. »
