...network is owned by Clarity Digital Group, one of Philip Anschutz's companies. While Anschutz is a noted political conservative, who recently bought the Weekly Standard from Rupert Murdoch and who also owns the San Francisco Examiner and the Washington Examiner, most of Examiner.com's stories seem to have no political leanings. (Contributor Carl Herman, a laid-off California teacher, has the conversation-opening title of nonpartisan Examiner...
...formula is always changing. On Monday Google announced that it would show live updates from social-media feeds on its news-search results. And on Tuesday, in response to complaints from newspapers and other news-gathering sources, it announced the creation of Living Story Page, a collaboration with the Washington Post and the New York Times, which puts ongoing stories, like health care reform, under one URL, and does not subject them to the vicissitudes of the search engine - though you have to visit the Living Story Page to find them.

Parthasarathy, a former Indian ambassador and visiting professor at the Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi. While the details...
...Indian foreign policy establishment may welcome the new and much more prominent role that India is playing in Washington, but it will always look for assurances that it hasn't sacrificed its strategic independence. India's top foreign-service officers and politicians are still steeped in Jawaharlal Nehru's vision of a nonaligned India, a belief that cuts across party lines.
