   I take exception to the comments made by rabbit!jj about socialist news-
papers and the truthgulness of information in those papers.
   He seems to advocate a position that only one view is correct and worth
listening two. Unfortunetly, this is all too clear from his other net
articles.

   While I am not familiar with "The Militant," I am familiar with "In These
Times," a magizine published by independent socialists. Far from being "in the
pay of the Soviets," this magizine consistently decries actions taken by any
power in the world which attempts to remove the freedoms of others.
   Additionally, it covers labour-related, farm-related and union-related
issues much better than any other weekly that I have seen.
   This, combined with their interviews and foreign-reporting articles gives
the reader information which traditional conservative newspapers ignore. They
usually manage to do this without the rhetoric that so many papers get into.
It gets many positive reviews, and they have had some very well written stories
in it.
   I would suggest that rabbit!jj look at a couple of issues, if only to
dispell his obviously slanted view of a socialist magizine, and perhaps of
socialists in general.

Keep those letters and cards coming...
